Toric contact lenses are specially designed to correct astigmatism, a common vision condition caused by an irregularly shaped cornea. Unlike regular spherical lenses, toric lenses have different powers in different meridians, allowing them to provide clear vision at various angles. They are available in both soft and rigid gas permeable materials. These lenses are shaped like a donut, with a thicker and thinner part to maintain proper alignment on the eye. Toric lenses can be worn daily or extended wear, depending on the type. They offer a comfortable and effective solution for those with astigmatism, improving overall visual clarity.
