Do they make nonprescription reading glasses for astigmatism?!


Question: If you mean "over the counter readers" no they are not available with astigmatism correction. You will need to go to your eye doctor for those.

No. Astigmatism has to be corrected with your specific prescription.

(and a reading lens, by definition, has a prescription. )

No, astigmatism eyes are very sensitive so the only way you can get glasses is through the optometrist.

I have astigmatism..I use regular reading glasses you can get at the drug store or Walmart for reading..they work good for me...It is just my eyes are very sensitive to certain kinds of light..I wear sunglasses on overcast days and try not to drive at night. I had prescription glasses once but found that my eyes were becoming dependent on them so I quit wearing them.

No. Astigmatism is much more complicated and there are far too many different combinations to correct for it. Over the counter reading glasses are only magnifiers. They are like 2 little magnifying glass lenses stuck in a frame with different strengths.

Not in Australia not in New Zealand nor the US and not in England. And as far as I know not in Canada.

No. It's actually a difficult thing to prescribe for correctly.
