According to a recent survey conducted by Decision Analyst and sponsored by Bausch & Lomb more than four in ten astigmats believe that their astigmatism is the reason they cannot wear contact lenses.
A total of 993 vision- corrected astigmatic patients completed an online survey. 15o patients had never worn contact lenses, and 178 had worn contact lenses in the past. The results of the survey showed that seven out of ten of those who had never worn contact lenses would be highly interested to wear contact lenses if the were available and their eye doctor made the recommendation.
During the last few years several contact lens companies have develop better and new material that has led to many more astigmatic patients having very good success in wearing contact lenses. Next time you see your NewSight eye doctor make sure you ask for a technology update. NewSight VisionCare optometrists are able to fit some of the most difficult to fit patients.
