If you wear bifocal or progressive corrective lenses or have astigmatism in one or both eyes, you may think that contacts are out of the question. While that was once the case, technological advances in recent years have changed that. There are several options available in contact lenses for people who need multiple corrections in a corrective lens. How do contacts for astigmatism work?

Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that causes blindness in a tenth of its victims, even with proper treatment, according to the Glaucoma Research Foundation. There is no cure for glaucoma, and it can affect people of all ages, from infants to the elderly. With glaucoma, pressure builds up in the eye, causing retinal damage. Symptoms, which include waning peripheral vision and blurring, are often mild and unnoticeable. There is no cure, but there are surgical procedures and eye drops that can help keep the condition under control.
