Have you been told you can’t wear soft contact lenses because you have astigmatism? Astigmatism refers to a cornea that is not perfectly round.

Today, unless you have an especially complex prescription your astigmatism can probably be corrected with soft contact lenses and you have many options.

Lenses for astigmatism are available in daily, two-weekly or monthly disposable options.

Properly fitting a toric lens takes more of the optometrist’s time and requires more expertise than regular contacts.
