Clear Vision for Astigmatism: Toric Contact Lenses

Clear Vision for Astigmatism: Toric Contact Lenses

Astigmatism is a common eye condition in which the cornea is shaped irregularly, leading to blurred and distorted vision. While traditional contact lenses can correct common vision problems such as nearsightedness or farsightedness, they do not effectively address astigmatism. Toric contact lenses, on the other hand, are a specialized type of contact lens that can correct astigmatism and provide clear vision.

Toric contact lenses are designed with different powers in different meridians of the lens. This allows them to correct for the irregular shape of the cornea and provide precise vision correction for those with astigmatism. Toric lenses are available in both soft and rigid gas permeable materials and can be worn for either daily or extended wear.

One of the benefits of toric contact lenses is that they are highly customizable. Dr. Dolan from 2020 Vision in Rochester Hills, MI is an optometrist who specializes in fitting patients with toric contact lenses. He understands that every patient’s eyes are unique and requires personalized care. Dr. Dolan will work with each patient to determine their individual needs and prescribe toric lenses that provide clear and comfortable vision.

Another advantage of toric contact lenses is their stability on the eye. Because they are designed to match the shape of the cornea, they stay in place more securely than traditional contact lenses, reducing the risk of shifting and blurring vision.
