The best toric contact lenses for astigmatism

Astigmatism occurs when the cornea or lens has an irregular shape, causing blurred or distorted vision at all distances. Instead of being perfectly round like a basketball, an eye with astigmatism is shaped more like a rugby ball. This irregular curvature affects how light enters the eye and is focused, often resulting in symptoms like eye strain, headaches and the need for clearer vision correction.

Toric lenses are a type of soft lenses that have a unique design compared to standard spherical lenses. They feature multiple powers in a single lens to correct astigmatism and are precisely aligned to match your prescription. Because they are shaped differently, they need to sit stably on your eye to work effectively. This makes fit and orientation especially important when selecting toric contact lenses. 

These are the top 10 contact lenses as voted for by you. Honourable mentions also include: Precision1 for Astigmatism, Total30 for Astigmatism, and PureVision2 for Astigmatism.

When selecting astigmatism contact lenses, consider what works best for your eyes and lifestyle. A secure, stable fit is essential for clear and undistorted vision. Lenses made from silicone hydrogel material provide excellent breathability and help reduce dryness. If you lead a busy lifestyle or prefer convenience, daily disposable lenses may be the right fit, while monthly lenses can be more cost-effective for regular wearers. Always speak to your optician before switching lenses to ensure the best option for your needs.
