What Is Astigmatism?
Astigmatism is a common vision condition caused by an irregular curvature of the cornea or lens in the eye. Instead of being perfectly round, the eye’s surface may be shaped more like a football, which can cause blurred or distorted vision. This irregularity affects how light enters the eye and focuses on the retina, leading to difficulties in seeing clearly at all distances.
People with astigmatism may experience symptoms like eye strain, headaches, and difficulty focusing on fine details. Astigmatism often occurs alongside other refractive errors like nearsightedness or farsightedness. Thankfully, modern contact lens technology has made it easier than ever to correct astigmatism effectively.
How Toric Contact Lenses Can Help
Toric contact lenses are specifically engineered to address the unique vision challenges of astigmatism. Unlike regular lenses, toric lenses have varying powers in different areas of the lens to correct the uneven curvature of the eye. They are designed to stay securely in place, thanks to specialized features like weighted edges or stabilizing zones. This precise fit ensures consistent clarity, even during movement or blinking.
Toric lenses are available in both soft and rigid gas permeable materials, with options for daily, bi-weekly, or monthly replacement schedules. At Advanced Eye Care Services, we’ll help you select the perfect toric lenses to suit your needs, ensuring optimal comfort and clear vision.
