I can see normally with my glasses or contacts. However, when I have my glasses on, everything appears much thinner and slightly more defined versus my contacts. I wear my contacts usually, but at night when I put back on my glasses, it seems like everything got smaller and thinner

Is there a reason for this? I do have astigmatism and my glasses are corrective lenses while my contacts are not toric. Could this have something to do with it? I thought astigmatism usually just makes things blurrier.

Any help is appreciated!

I wear Glasses and Contacts and the Same thing happens to me its just not as noticeable, its probaly beause your Contact RX and Your Glasses RX arent Corresponding with eachother eventhogh both are 2 seperate things. Your Glasses Axis may be off by a degree or to or you contacts may be off by a degree or 2.

that us your answer. They are not toric. I useed to have cotnacts and had to wear toric lenses due to my astigmatism. Toric lenses are weighted or something so that they always sit in a way that corrects the astigmatism

I have contacts as well, and it happens to me as well.

It's because of the distance between the eye and the lens. Contacts give a much more natural feel, since they are so close.

You can get a more precise prescription in glasses and you can't with contacts. has to do with the size and thickness of the materials used for both types of corrective lenses

The brain is connected to the eyes in a very interesting manner. Light and the absence of light affects the lens of the eyeball and how it deciphers images. Other causes can be related to blood pressure, fatigue, and the diet you follow. As we become older our eyes change with the years.There is a Tibetan Eye Chart from the House of Quality Herbs in Woodland Hills, Calif. that you can use to effect change on eye muscles. Rest yourself and improve.:)
