TORIC LENSES
Toric lenses are designed to correct astigmatism and are available in daily, two-weekly, and monthly disposable soft lens options, as well as gas permeables. Astigmatism is where the light rays from different directions focus at two separate points either in front or behind the retina. This is most commonly due to the front surface of the eye (cornea) not being uniformly round.
A common analogy used is that the eyeball is a bit like a rugby ball rather than football shaped! Astigmatism can happen on its own or in conjunction with myopia or hyperopia.
