Biomedics Toric Contacts


Never was it a better time to have astigmatism! Not so long ago, people with eyes shaped more like footballs instead of like soccer balls were told they could not wear contacts because of their corrective needs. Advances in contact lens technology have now made it possible for people with astigmatism to break free from the hassle of glasses, and to even enjoy soft contact lenses, colored contacts, and multi-focal contacts. Biomedics toric contacts make it possible for even the most oddly shaped eye to enjoy total correction and total comfort. Produced by Ocular Sciences, Biomedics toric contacts combine comfort and versatility to deliver visual acuity to even the most severely astigmatic eyes.

Made from the same material as other contact lenses, toric lenses depart from the norm in how they are curved. Since correcting astigmatism means accounting for an unusual bending of the eye, in addition to correcting either nearsightedness or farsightedness, toric lenses are aspheric and created with curvatures at different angles. Sometimes they have different thickness along their edges to act as weights that help keep the lens from shifting about on your eye as you blink.

Toric contacts are available in a variety of formats: frequent replacement, disposable, and even daily disposable lenses. What's more, you can even get colored toric lenses that can give you the blue, green, even brown eyes you always wanted. There are even multifocal Biomedics toric contacts that can correct for presbyopia, the condition that typically affects aging eyes and translates into difficulty focusing on objects when they are up close.
