11th Sep 2015

Do you have astigmatism and need to wear contact lenses? Here are your options: A soft lens can correct everything from 0, 75 diopters and up. A Toric lens has been designed to correct multiple different issues with your eyes such as the astigmatism or spherical issues which are the reasons for nearsightedness or farsightedness.

If you have 0.75 diopters of astigmatism then in general you will benefit from wearing a toric lens –your vision will improve, but you should try them on first to see if are comfortable for you. Usually contact lenses that correct astigmatisms cost more so if you are tired of wearing those lenses you could try switching to a toric lens and see if it helps.
