Summary Content

Astigmatism, characterized by an irregular corneal shape, can complicate achieving clear vision with standard contact lenses. At Health Today, we provide toric contact lenses, designed specifically for those with astigmatism. These lenses are crafted to correct the unique visual challenges presented by the condition, offering a custom fit that accommodates the eye's irregular shape and ensures clear, stable vision. Whether you're interested in soft toric lenses or rigid gas permeable (RGP) options, our Health Today optometrists are equipped to find the perfect solution for your needs.

NAVIGATING ASTIGMATISM WITH TORIC LENSES

Toric contact lenses are engineered to address the visual distortion caused by astigmatism. Unlike spherical lenses, toric lenses possess an oblong shape to match the eye's curvature, providing focused light onto the retina for clearer vision. These lenses are designed to remain stable on the eye, preventing the rotation that can blur vision in individuals with astigmatism.

  • Soft Toric Lenses: Popular for their comfort, these lenses are suitable for most patients with astigmatism. They are available in various replacement schedules, including daily, biweekly, and monthly disposables.
  • Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses: For those who might not achieve optimal vision correction with soft toric lenses, RGP lenses offer an alternative with superior durability and potential for clearer vision. While they require an adaptation period, many find them equally comfortable and beneficial for astigmatism correction.
