Toric Contact Lenses for Astigmatism

 

Toric contact lenses are specifically designed to correct astigmatism. Each lens requires a unique prescription and must be fitted to ensure you receive clear, stable vision.

What is astigmatism?

 

Astigmatism occurs when the cornea is shaped like a football, as opposed to spherical like a basketball. This causes fuzzy, blurred vision and can make images appear stretched. Not to worry, it can be corrected with a toric contact lens.

 

Who are toric contacts for?
