Toric lenses are used to correct astigmatism. Astigmatism is a vision condition where an irregularly shaped cornea prevents light from focusing properly on the retina. This can cause distorted or blurred vision. In the past, the only options for those with astigmatism were either glasses or hard gas permeable contact lenses. But toric lenses, which are lenses with a special shape, now offer an alternative. There are many brands of toric lenses, including disposables, that are available in designs for monthly, bi-weekly, and daily replacement.
