Toric Contact Lenses for Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a common vision condition where the eye's cornea or lens is irregular, causing blurred or distorted vision.
For patients with astigmatism, toric contact lenses are a specialized solution designed to correct this irregularity and provide clear vision. These lenses have different meridians to address the specific needs of the eye, ensuring that the vision is properly focused.
At Advanced Eyecare Specialists, we offer a range of soft toric lenses and, if needed, gas-permeable lenses tailored to your vision requirements. Experience the benefits of toric lenses and enjoy improved clarity and visual acuity, allowing you to see the world with precision and comfort.
How do Toric Lenses Work?
Toric lenses correct astigmatism by addressing the irregular shape of the eye's cornea or lens. Unlike regular contact lenses, toric lenses have varying powers in different sections of the lens, tailored to the specific vision needs of the patient. This unique design ensures light properly focuses on the retina, providing clearer and more precise vision. By offering precise vision correction, toric lenses enable those with astigmatism to experience the world with improved clarity and comfort.
Soft or Gas-Permeable Lenses
There are two options for correcting astigmatism with toric lenses: soft toric lenses and gas-permeable toric lenses. Soft toric lenses, made from flexible materials, provide comfort and are easier to adapt to. They have varying powers in different meridians to correct astigmatism and feature design elements for lens stability.
On the other hand, gas-permeable toric lenses are rigid, durable, and offer excellent clarity. They maintain their shape on the eye, utilizing the tear layer to correct astigmatism. Choosing soft and gas-permeable toric lenses depends on your needs and lifestyle. We will guide you to the best fit for clear and comfortable vision.
Discover a vast array of soft toric lenses designed to cater to your unique vision needs. Explore daily wear options, perfect for those who prefer removing lenses before sleep, or explore the convenience of extended-wear lenses approved for overnight use. Add a flair to your look with soft toric lenses that enhance or transform your eye color. Individuals with presbyopia embrace the convenience of multifocal toric lenses, providing both astigmatism correction and reading power.
