What is Astigmatism?
I'm probably asked this question more than any other so here's a little primer on how the optics of the eye work.
Let's first go over how light rays behave as they enter the eye.
In a normal eye, light rays enter the eye, are bent by the tear film, cornea, and lens, and then come to one point focus on the retina. The retina is where rods and cones pick up the light signals which are then transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve.
You can have that feeling every day! Daily disposable contact lenses are ones that you put on in the morning and toss at the end of the day. They don't require any cleaning, storing, or solutions. You'll always have enough lenses to last you a full year so you don't have to stretch out wearing that last pair.
Right now, Bausch & Lomb's Soflens Daily Disposable contacts are on sale for $370 for a year's supply of lenses after a $70 mail-in rebate. That's about the price of a cup of coffee...and we're not even talking designer coffee!
