Good To Know

What Are Toric Contact Lenses For?

Toric contact lenses have been designed to correct astigmatism, which is a structural disorder in the eye or eyes that often causes blurry vision.

Toric contact lenses are specifically designed to address the abnormal shape of the cornea (corneal astigmatism) or lens (lenticular astigmatism) by altering the focusing power, they are also stabilised either by a thickening or a weighting at the bottom of the lens to provide stability during blinking to help create a smooth, clear visual experience.

Are Toric And Multifocals The Same Thing?

It is not uncommon for people to confuse Toric contact lenses with Multifocal contact lenses, but they are not the same, they have each been designed to correct a specific eye condition.

Toric contact lenses have been designed to correct astigmatism and as such they have a single prescription power and have been shaped to create different focusing powers on both the horizontal and vertical orientations. A toric contact lens also has a thicker, or weighted bottom section to stabilise the lens when you blink.

A multifocal contact lens has been designed to correct presbyopia so contains multiple powers to correct vision in the distance, close to and intermediate, so they can replace the need for reading glasses.

Both Toric and multifocal contact lenses are available as daily disposable, monthly disposable, and either as a regular hydrogel or Silicone hydrogel contact lens.
