Contact Lens, Toric Corrects Astigmatism
The development of the contact lens toric was huge in the eye care industry because it provided a viable contact lens option for individuals suffering from astigmatism that before this development could either not wear regular contact lenses or received no vision benefit from wearing them. The contact lens toric was developed especially for the astigmatism sufferer with a lens that is a bit heavier on the bottom than on the top. The reason for this type of construction is to allow the individual to blink and the contact does not move out of place because it is "weighted" to the This allows for clear, sharp vision and happy astigmatism sufferers.
Also, in the toric lens there are two prescriptions to treat the astigmatism in addition to the near or farsightedness. With these lenses individuals with astigmatism were able to wear contact lenses and enjoy clear vision for the first time. In addition, these lenses are available in the traditional soft or RGP form, depending on what works best for you. Also, the toric lens is more expensive than typical contact lenses. It is also more difficult to fit, so a patient should anticipate the fitting session to be more expensive than a regular session. These lenses are also available in color, multi-focal, and disposable if you are interested in incorporating these options in your toric contact lens.
If you suffer from astigmatism and are interested in trying either the soft of RGP toric contact lens, then contact your optometrist today. He will be able to guide you to the type of lens that is best for you and inform you about different contact options.
