Toric contact lenses correct the effects of astigmatism and are the ideal way to return perfect vision to your life. While glasses can work wonders for those with astigmatism, toric contact lenses correct blurred vision and eliminate blind spots in your peripheral vision caused by spectacle frames.
Here at The Optical Store, we stock a wide range of contact lenses for astigmatism and are always here to help you choose the best toric lenses for your needs.
Astigmatism is a common eye condition that contact lenses can easily correct. Caused by a non-spherical eye shape, astigmatism reduces the focus of light entering your eyes, leading to blurred or warped vision.
Rather than being long-sighted or short-sighted, people with astigmatism usually experience blurred vision at all ranges. The most common non-visual side effects include headaches and eye strain after long periods of focus, such as reading or driving.
There are countless reasons to use toric contact lenses to correct astigmatism. Here’s our pick of the best benefits:
Seamless, Stable Vision
Prescription toric contact lenses adapt seamlessly to the unique shape of your eye, allowing you to view and take on the world with absolute clarity and freedom. No more blind spots from limiting spectacle frames, no raindrop splashes or the inconvenience of constantly repositioning your glasses during physical activity. Just flawless, uninterrupted vision through every moment you create.
Comfort
Contact lenses emphasize comfort and convenience. Toric contact lenses are designed to perfectly fit irregular eye shapes, providing a level of comfort unachievable with spectacles. The Optical Store stocks a range of materials and designs, so you’re sure to find the right brand for you.
Variety
If you’ve been researching toric contact lenses online, you’ll have noticed the wide variety of available modalities covering various lifestyle choices.
Daily toric contact lenses are disposable, designed for one day’s use before changing, and are the most hygienic lenses available. Two weekly toric contact lenses last up to 14 days. In contrast, monthly toric contact lenses last up to 30 days — more cost-effective than daily disposables but requiring removal and cleaning every night. Meanwhile, multifocal toric contact lenses are designed to correct astigmatism and presbyopia, an age-related eye condition.
Are toric contact lenses expensive?
Astigmatism is a more complex condition than short—or near-sightedness. Specialised technologies and manufacturing processes are required to produce astigmatism-correcting toric contact lenses. This can raise the price of toric eye contacts compared to spherical lenses, but the effects remain life-changing.
How do you put in toric contact lenses?
Toric contact lenses are easy to wear and care for, just like most. With clean, dry hands, insert your toric eye contacts like any other: raise your upper or lower eyelid, look off-centre and insert your lens. To remove them, slide the lens from your eye to your lower lashline until you can take it in your fingers.
Do you need to clean toric contact lenses?
Two weekly and monthly toric contact lenses require cleaning and storing each night before sleep. After removing each toric lens, gently massage a few drops of fresh contact lens solution into the lens. Rinse it off with a few more drops of fresh solution (never use water or other liquids) and store in a contact lens case topped with new solution each night.
