Toric contact lenses are specially designed to correct for astigmatism. Astigmatism is very common and caused by an asymmetry in the cornea, the ocular surface. This causes the eye to be more shaped like a football rather then a basketball. Astigmatism is not a disease but does come in different degrees.
A toric contact lens has two powers in it rather then one like a spherical contact lens. Because of this, toric contact lenses can be more difficult and time consuming to fit. Our doctors specialize in contact lenses and guarantee success*.
