Contact Lenses for Astigmatism - Torics

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!
