Contact Lenses for Astigmatism - Torics

Toric contact lenses are designed to correct astigmatism, which is a refractive error in the eye that can cause blurred vision. If you have astigmatism, the curvature of your cornea is irregular, meaning specially-made toric contact lenses are required. Whether you require monthly, weekly or daily toric lenses, you’ll find the perfect match at Pure Optical. We even stock cheap multifocal toric contact lenses from Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism to Clariti 1 Day Toric, allowing absolutely anyone with astigmatism to acquire the right product.

What Are Toric Contact Lenses?

Toric contact lenses support those with astigmatism. Unlike traditional contact lenses, toric lenses require a cylinder (CYL) and axis (AX) prescription. This is so that the shape of the lens caters to your astigmatism, reducing the risk of slippage and blurred vision.

More About Astigmatism

Astigmatism is diagnosed when your cornea is not completely spherical in shape. Instead, it resembles a shape similar to a rugby ball. This change in shape means that light cannot refract properly, causing blurred or distorted vision.

If you have astigmatism, you may struggle to wear standard contact lenses as the shape of the lens will not fit your eye. This is why toric contact lenses exist, instead!
