Toric contact lenses are specialised lenses that are worn to correct astigmatism. Astigmatism is a common vision condition that causes blurred or distorted vision. Toric lenses have different powers in different areas to correct this. Take into consideration that not all kinds of astigmatism can be corrected with toric contact lenses. It strongly depends on the severity of your condition. Very strong astigmatism can only be corrected with rigid gas permeable (hard) contact lenses or eyeglasses.
