Good To Know
What Are Toric Contacts?
Toric contact lenses are designed to correct astigmatism, so they are a little more complex requiring two prescription, one to correct your power and the other to correct the shape of the eye.
In non-astigmatic eyes, the corneas will be both smooth and spherical, thus allowing light to enter the eyes evenly. Astigmatic eyes, however, often have unevenly shaped corneas that warp how light penetrates the retina. It is commonly referred to as a 'football' shaped eye - however, it is very subtle, you cannot see it by looking at your eye!
Air Optix for Astigmatism plus HydraGlyde using Alcons PRECISION BALANCE 8|4® Lens Design, keeps the contacts in place, reducing blurriness and increasing comfort.
