Patients with mild astigmatism may not need treatment if the condition does not bother the patient. In severe cases, glasses, contact lenses or laser surgery are applied.

Glasses: It is the treatment method mostly preferred by people with astigmatism. The glasses used contain a special cylindrical lens.

Contact lens: Because contact lenses are worn directly on the eye, they can provide clearer vision and a better field of view. However, regular cleaning and maintenance should be done.

Orthokeratology: Orthokeratology ‌(ortho-k) involves the use of a series of rigid ‌contact lenses to reshape the cornea. The patient has to wear this lens for a certain period of time every day. In this way, patients with moderate astigmatism can get a clear image without lenses or glasses, albeit temporarily. But ortho-k is not permanent. As soon as they leave these lenses, they may begin to experience visual impairment again.

Laser surgery: Astigmatism can also be corrected by reshaping the cornea with LASIK or PRK techniques.
