Innenzylindern

Innenzylindern are cylindrical contact lenses designed to correct astigmatism, a condition where the cornea or lens has an irregular shape causing blurred or distorted vision. Unlike spherical lenses that have uniform curvature, Innenzylindern feature a specific cylindrical power that compensates for the irregular curvature of the eye, providing clearer vision for individuals with astigmatism.

These lenses are typically manufactured from various materials, including hydrogel or silicone hydrogel, which ensure comfort and oxygen permeability. Their design allows for precise correction tailored to the wearer’s eye prescription, often requiring regular consultations with an eye care specialist to determine the appropriate cylinder and axis measurements.

Innenzylindern can be produced as soft contact lenses or rigid gas-permeable lenses. Soft cylindrical lenses are popular for their comfort and ease of adaptation, while rigid gas-permeable options offer sharper vision correction for more complex astigmatism cases.

The fitting process involves detailed measurements of the eye's curvature and astigmatic axis. Proper fitting and cleaning are essential to prevent complications such as discomfort or eye infections. Regular follow-up appointments help ensure optimal vision correction and ocular health.

Overall, Innenzylindern serve as an effective solution for individuals with astigmatism seeking clear, comfortable vision correction without the use of glasses.
