Up until recently, people who suffered from the eye problem of astigmatism were not able to find toric contact lenses. Today, however, advances in technology have brought about the invention of toric contact lenses. These lenses are differently curved than other types of eye prescriptions.
Whether you have astigmatism, myopia or hyperopia, toric contact lenses are just what you need. The lenses remain stable on your eye so that they will not rotate when you blink. If your astigmatism is slight, you may also be able to wear normally curved contact lenses.
The toric contact lenses are made of either soft or RGP (rigid gas permeable) material. Some consumers prefer the rigid lenses as they maintain their curved shape better than soft lenses. However, other people prefer soft, daily wear disposable lenses because of their ease and comfortable feel. Nowadays, you can also find toric contacts in color styles to change or enhance the color of your natural eye color. Visit your doctor today for a fitting of contacts that are right for you!
