Not only nearsightedness or minus, the eye can also experience cylinders or astigmatism. Not everyone is aware that their eyes have cylinders. People who experience cylinders have a less perfect eye curve and generally this is a congenital condition. So how do you treat this cylindrical eye?
Is that a cylinder eye?
The cylinder is a perfectly round eye condition. Normally, the cornea and eyepiece must have curves in all directions so that light and light can enter easily.
However, if the cornea is not smooth and uneven to all sides, then the eye will not be able to capture light properly. Light will spread to various points on the retina, so the eyes will be 'confused' to find out where the light comes from. Finally, the eyes do not get clear shadows and blurred vision.
The cylindrical eye makes the floor or wall look really tilted straight. One symptom of this cylinder is blurred vision and often feels tired eyes.
How to treat cylinder eyes?
Basically, there are 3 ways to treat cylindrical eyes, namely by using glasses, contact lenses and also surgery or surgery. Even cases of very light cylindrical eyes can not require any treatment.
In the glasses for cylinders, the lens of the glasses will be designed to bend to ward off vision that looks blurred.
There are also special contact lenses for cylindrical eyes called toric. With this lens, light can be turned correctly towards the eye. The worse your cylinder eyes, the recommended lens is a stiffer-shaped lens.
However, contact lenses and glasses will not permanently remove the cylinder on your eyes. Both of these tools only help your vision ability.
To remove the cylinder, for some people, eye surgery may be done including refractive surgery. In this surgery, a laser will be used to change the shape of the cornea to make it more rounded and even.
Discuss with your eye doctor to handle eye surgery procedures that can be done to treat your cylinder.
How do you keep this cylinder from getting worse?
Cylinders without surgery will not heal. Even so, the condition of this cylinder can be kept from getting worse. The high stress on the eye or stress on the eye is a condition that can worsen the cylinder eye.
Usually, a tense eye will cause more severe symptoms of the cylinder, such as, the view will feel more opaque, feel a headache, and must squint when you want to focus your eyes. These things usually cause eye strain:
- Using a computer or TV or screen gadget for a long time
- Reading in bad lighting
- Don't drink enough water. A less hydrated body will reduce eye hydration too
- Eyes that lack nutrition
So, do these things to prevent your cylinder eyes getting worse:
- Always give your eyes time to rest, especially if you work in front of a computer screen. Do it with the 20-20-20 method.
- Don't forget to blink. Blinking does not reduce stress on the eyes, but this can prevent dry eyes.
- Always provide bright lighting. Poor lighting makes the eyes focus more and more tense. Use bright LED lights while on the move.
