Toric Contact Lenses Toric contact lenses have changed the world of vision correction for those individuals with astigmatism. In the not too distant past, contact lenses were not an option for those with this particular vision impairment. Those days are gone. Every leading contact lens manufacturer, including Ciba Vision and Bausch & Lomb, now offers toric contacts to suit every person's needs and vision requirements.
Toric contacts are specially manufactured to address the vision impairment caused by astigmatism. Astigmatism results from a distortion of the cornea that causes blurred vision. It is estimated that up to 50% of people with vision impairment suffer from astigmatism. Manufacturing quality, comfortable soft contacts designed to address these vision impairments has been successfully achieved by the development of toric contact lenses.
Those buying toric contacts should discuss their decision to move from eyeglasses to contact lenses with their eye care practitioner. Toric lenses offer quality, selection, a choice in replacement schedules, and even colored lenses, and choosing the toric contacts that are right for you is an important first step in the transition to contact lenses.
A myriad of toric contacts are available on the market today. The most
popular of these, listed by manufacturer, include:
These soft toric contacts are available as disposable lenses, weekly,
biweekly, and monthly replacement lenses, and others. Once you decide what
toric lens is right for you, following any lens cleaning requirements and
schedules is important. Only by ensuring that your toric contacts are kept
clean and in the best shape possible will you benefit from the excellent
vision correction these lenses have to offer. |
