Toric lenses: everything you need to know

eyesight careToric lenses are famous around the world due to their perfect vision for astigmatism. But what makes it so different from the other contact lenses? Its shape is like a spherical surface and a geometric shape that ensures the perfect focus. If you see it you will also feel that it has more of the shape of a donut. What makes them the best is that they provide ultra-power to both horizontal and vertical orientation. It creates less strain on the muscle of your eyes so you can enjoy the perfect vision without any problem.

Because of their shape, toric lenses ensure a comfortable fitting that does not make them slip and even ensure that your eyes are not dry. Contact lenses can be troublesome for perfect positioning but with toric, you can enjoy a clear and sharp vision in seconds. It is one of the reasons why they are more expensive than the general ones.

Toric lenses – The perfect solution for astigmatism:

One of the biggest reasons why the toric lens is recommended is due to its refractive strength. The amount of vision they give even in varying degrees is amazing. They first were introduced in 1978 but at that time the patients had to go through many fitting procedures due to less technology. But within time, clinicians have got the technology that has helped them to bring forth a toric lens that is without a doubt a perfect treatment for astigmatism.

People who use contact lenses are familiar with the fact that their lens position gets disturbed when they blink several times. But with toric, even this problem came with a solution. Its shape created a perfect and balanced set of the lens that will not be disturbed by the user blinking. A Turkish study also showed that patients with less astigmatism showed improvements with regular use of toric lenses. The research on this topic is still going on but one thing is for sure that you will feel improved visual activity.

Types of toric lenses people prefer to use:

Toric lenses come in different types but the most used one is the soft ones. They come with a hydrogel that makes it easier and comfortable for the eyes. But people also complain that for outdoor use soft lenses are not suitable because of readjustments while you are wearing them. One that optometrists these days prefer is the RGP. They are much better and more innovative than the soft ones. These toric lenses stay in one place because of their rigid nature. You can wear it for both outdoor and indoor use by the control of lens rotation.

But, in the end, it’s the doctor’s choice which type of lens you will use. It is based on your eye exam and how much attention your eyes need. There is a chance that you need an additional setting but it can only be done after an eye exam. Therefore, you should always ensure that you have a regular checkup of your eyes as well.

It is highly recommended that everyone should at least get their comprehensive eye exam done once a year. If you are feeling any kind of eye disorder or strain before choosing your contact lenses consult your optometrist and ask about toric lenses.
