Can an eye test detect astigmatism?

In most cases, astigmatism is easily corrected with either glasses, specialised contact lenses (called toric lenses) or, in severe cases, surgery. Your optometrist will be able to detect astigmatism during a routine eye test and they’ll recommend the best option for you.

Does .75 astigmatism need to be corrected?

If the amount of astigmatism is low (less than 0.75 diopters) correction is not often needed. For moderate and higher amounts of astigmatism (0.75 to 6.00 diopters) correction is usually needed.

How can I test my astigmatism online?

Cover one eye with your hand without pressing on the eyelid. Look at the image and pay attention to how the lines appear. If some lines appear lighter and some appear darker, you likely have astigmatism. Repeat the test for both eyes.

Do I need glasses for mild astigmatism?

Glasses or contacts can correct almost all cases of astigmatism. But if you have only a slight astigmatism and no other vision problems, you may not need them. If you have a common level of astigmatism, you’ll probably have corrective lenses, like glasses or contacts, or surgery.
