What is Astigmatism?

Astigmatism, a common vision condition, is caused when the front surface of the eye, called the cornea, is not perfectly round. Instead of having equal curvatures like a basketball, it has several different curvatures like a football. Light is focused differently in the eye, leading to blurred vision. Before the advent of Toric Contact Lenses, soft contact lens options were limited because of your astigmatism.

Because the astigmatic eye is oval shaped, instead of the normal round shape, regular soft contact lenses do not provide the proper fit and correction. The toric contact lens, however, DOES provide a proper fit and correction for the astigmatic patient. New materials from which the toric lenses are made make it possible to manufacture the lenses inexpensively and sell them to the public at a low cost.

What Are Toric Contact Lenses?

Toric contact lenses are made from the same materials as regular ("spherical") contact lenses, so they can be either soft or RGP. The difference is in the design of the lens.

Toric lenses have two powers in them, created with curvatures at different angles (one for astigmatism, the other for either myopia or hyperopia). They are designed with a mechanism that keeps the contact lens relatively stable on your eye when you blink or look around. It is important for the quality of your vision that the toric contact lenses do not rotate on your eye.

Toric Contact Lenses for Comfortable Wear

The new toric contact lenses allow for many hours of comfortable wear! In fact, they feel almost like wearing nothing at all! Each pair is designed to be worn for about two weeks and then, discarded. Although they can be slept in, it is recommended that the wearer remove them each night before going to bed.

So, what are you waiting for? Get rid of those glasses and show your beautiful eyes to the world! Find out if toric contact lens are right for you.

In the past, those with astigmatism had few options when it came to wearing contact lenses. They could wear those not-so-easy-to-adjust-to hard contacts. Or, they could spend a lot of money on a pair of soft contacts made for astigmatism. Thanks to the new scientific advancements, however, toric contact lenses make it possible for patients with astigmatism to afford comfortable, soft lenses.
