Do cosmetic contact lenses have astigmatism? How much lower is the degree of cosmetic contact lenses than that of lenses?

Nowadays, cosmetic contact lenses can have different degrees, and people with myopia can also wear them. So can people with astigmatism wear cosmetic contact lenses? How much lower is the degree of cosmetic contact lenses than that of lenses?

Cosmetic contact lenses have astigmatism degrees. Generally, astigmatism below 50 degrees does not need to be customized. If the degree is higher (above 150 degrees), it needs to be customized. Astigmatism lenses between 75 degrees and 150 degrees can be converted into myopia degrees by formula. When wearing cosmetic contact lenses, you must pay attention to eye hygiene. Take them off before going to bed every night and soak them in cleaning solution. If it is a customized astigmatism lens, you must consider the axis position. The axis position of the lens must be accurate, and the lens cannot be worn upside down, otherwise it will have a greater impact on vision.

The degree of cosmetic contact lenses is generally 25 to 50 degrees smaller than that of eyeglass lenses. Long-term wearing of high-degree contact lenses will cause changes in your pupils and affect your refractive power. Try to choose a degree that is the same as or slightly lower than your actual degree. If there is no same degree, it is better to choose a lower degree rather than a higher degree. Too high a degree may cause symptoms such as dizziness.

Some cosmetic contact lenses have prescriptions. There are two types of cosmetic contact lenses: one is zero-degree cosmetic contact lenses, which are used by people with healthy vision and are only used to modify the eyes; the other is prescription lenses, which, like contact lenses, can provide clear vision and correct vision. If you are nearsighted, it is more appropriate to choose cosmetic contact lenses with prescriptions.

However, there are still many hazards of wearing colored contact lenses. For example, it is easy for the eyes to get some inflammation, damage the eye skin and cause redness and swelling, and in severe cases, it may damage the cornea. Although colored contact lenses look good, they are an obligation after all. Putting them in the eyes for a long time will damage the eye skin, and it will cause skin grinding inside the eyes for a long time, so it is not recommended to wear colored contact lenses frequently.
