Q: Is it alright for a person with astigmatism to wear contact lens?

A:Not only is wearing C.L. for astigmatism OK but it is actually better for quality of vision. Only thing you should be careful with is hygiene but make sure you don't overwear it if there is discomfort or blurring of vision after few hours of wearing CL. Because of your age you also may need to wear reading glasses for closeup work. Ask your optician or eye specialist about it.
