Glasses sit slightly further away from the front of your eyes, whereas contact lenses are in direct contact with your eyeball.
CAN I WEAR CONTACT LENSES IF I HAVE ASTIGMATISM
In a perfectly shaped eye, the cornea and lens are round, like a football. Therefore, all light entering the cornea and lens will bend equally in order to make a sharply focused image on the retina (back of the eye). If either your cornea or lens is rugby ball shaped, the light rays aren't bent the same, forming two different images and resulting in blurred vision. The astigmatism will occur when your cornea or lens is curved more steeply in one direction than in another.
There is no set age for contact lens wearing. It all depends on your child. If they have a good level of personal hygiene and are responsible, they can start wearing lenses sooner rather than later. However, we do recommend that a parent or guardian supervise initially.
