Can You Get Bifocal Lenses With Astigmatism?

People with astigmatism may be able to use bifocal lenses when their prescription calls for both distance or near correction and astigmatism correction. The lens can combine the required optical powers when the prescription and lens design support it.

Astigmatism correction commonly involves cylinder and axis values. These values must be entered accurately when ordering prescription eyewear because changing them can alter the intended correction.

Why a Professional Prescription Matters

Astigmatism can vary between the two eyes, and the near addition is a separate part of a multifocal prescription. An eye examination provides the measurements needed to determine the appropriate design.

When shopping online, verify that the retailer accepts your prescription type and supports the required parameters. If your prescription is complex, ask your eye-care professional for guidance before purchasing.
