What is Toric Contacts / Contacts For Astigmatism

Astigmatism is a fairly common eye condition where the retina is incapable of identifying the single focal point to process the light rays. Astigmatism also deteriorates the shape of the cornea, which makes treatment tedious. Fortunately, alike people with other visual impairments, contact lenses have been a boon in improving visual acuity for astigmatism.

Astigmatism prefers special type of contact lenses i.e. “toric” over conventional spherical lenses to help prevent the “rotation” that is common with spherical lenses. Toric contact lenses are available in different materials, depending on the complexity of the individual’s case.

Does Everybody with Astigmatism Need Torics?

Not everyone with astigmatism requires torics. People who despite suffering from the condition, stick to conventional circle lenses for astigmatism yet fail to notice improvements, are the right candidates for such customized prosthetic devices. Since astigmatism affects vision at all distances, contacts for astigmatism work differently. Unlike regular contact lenses, contacts with astigmatism have a different degree of power at different meridians. Toric contact lenses are made heavier at the bottom, which lets them auto-adjust to the meridians where the vision correction is required.

The unique correspondence of these special lenses, the material used, and certain other characteristics increase the cost of manufacturing. This is why toric contacts can be slightly more expensive than regular vision contacts.
