Toric contact lenses for astigmatism

Toric contact lenses correct astigmatism, which is caused by an irregularly shaped cornea. The lenses are made to correct any myopia or hyperopia you have in your prescription, plus have additional power in one direction to correct the astigmatism. The lenses use advanced stabilisation designs to ensure sharp and stable vision. 

It's quite common to have a correction for astigmatism in your prescription. Astigmatism happens when the cornea or lens of your eye has an irregular shape, causing blurred or distorted vision. Fortunately, this can be easily corrected with specially prescribed glasses or contact lenses. For more details, visit our astigmatism eye health page. 

Toric contact lenses are specially designed to correct astigmatism, which occurs when the cornea has an irregular shape. The lenses are made to correct any myopia or hyperopia you have in your prescription, but also have additional power in one direction to align with the irregularity. The lenses use advanced stabilisation designs to provide reliable, clear vision. Most people with astigmatism can use soft daily or monthly toric contact lenses. However, for higher prescriptions, you might need rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses.
