[M767]Multifocal Toric Contact Lens
by Ray Lam, Ray
If you have an astigmatism, your eye doctor might prescribe toric contact lenses for vision correction. Toric contact lenses use the same material as a soft contact lens. They can be either soft or Rigid Gas Permeable. These lenses offer greater variety and comfort in vision correction to those with astigmatism than ever before.

An astigmatism for those who are not familiar with the term is a curvature of the eye creating blurry vision. This problem can be corrected by surgery along with your other vision problems, but surgery is expensive and may not be an option for you right now. This is where a Toric contact lens can be important.

Today, patients suffering from astigmatism have a plethora of choices. There is a range of disposable toric lenses available including daily disposable, 1-2 week disposable and monthly disposable lenses.

Getting fitted for toric contact lenses can take more time and must be exact. Your eye doctor should be experienced in these types of fittings, but you will probably pay more for the fitting as well as for the lenses.

Not everyone with an astigmatism needs toric lenses. If the astigmatism is mild - between 0 and 1.00 diopter - you may be able to wear a soft or RGP lens. RGP lenses might fare better as they are rigid and can use the tears in your eyes to work with the misshapen cornea. You might even be able to use a high prescription of regular soft contacts. Your eye doctor will know which you need and you may have to try a few before you find the perfect lens for you.

Another option your eye doctor may suggest is a Toric contact lens with a special material. Often those with an astigmatism need a higher prescription to correct their vision problems and the heavier weight of the Toric contact lens may be restricting oxygen flow to the eye. If this is the case they may offer a thicker more rigid Toric lens with a special material allowing more oxygen flow. This can help with the extreme dryness that results from having a heavier lens like the Toric contact lens as a secondary effect.

There is much more to consider when purchasing a pair of contact lens than whether they are lightweight, and painless. People carefully review all of the features offered by contact lens manufacturers. Any contact lens manufacturer might produce several products in contact lens wear, and finding the right product for your lifestyle is very important.

Some of the features offered by Bausch & Lomb contact lenses might include soft contact lenses and rigid gas permeable lenses. This brand is known more by people than other contact lens manufacturers because of their eye care products, pharmaceutical products and ophthalmic surgical products than for the contact lenses that they manufacture. Their products will work well with many other manufacturer contact lenses and people trust their products explicitly.

The manufacturer Cooper Vision has the distinction of being the only manufacturer whose contact lens brand, Proclear Compatibles that the FDA allows to make certain claims about providing improved comfort to contact lens wearers who have experienced discomfort due to dryness.” That distinction leads many people to purchase their brand over other features offered by contact lens manufacturers.

Boston Rigid Gas Permeable offers a lens type that is an excellent choice for people with dry eyes, astigmatism, and sensitive eyes. Their gas permeable lenses out perform other features offered by contact lens manufacturers. They may also be an option for people who have had trouble wearing soft contact lenses in the past.

CIBA Vision is a widely recognized contact lens brand because they offer cosmetic and colored contact lenses that people wear to not only change their eye color but enhance them too. These are far better features offered by contact lens manufacturers that offer clear lenses as their only option.

CIBA Vision offers a patented pattern in their product line called FreshLook ColorBlends that is a three-in-one color burst pattern. This patented pattern clearly outweighs other features offered by contact lens manufacturers who have no patent at all.

Cooper Vision is the number one manufacturer of toric lenses and features the most advanced lenses in the contact lens manufacturing industry. Two contact lenses in their product line offer features not found by other manufacturers. For best vision in a contact lens people can choose to wear the Aspheric lenses, and for unmatched day comfort, they can choose to wear the Proclear Compatibles.

Johnson & John Vision Care under the Vistakon umbrella was the first manufacturer to offer soft disposable contact lens, which was a significant features than those offered by contact lens manufacturers at the time. Their Acuvue Brand remains the number one brand in the world in this category.

Specialty Ultravision has bested features offered by contact lens manufacturers by offering a technology that blocks aberration. With their lenses, contact lens wearers are afforded an increase in the clarity of the images before them, which gives them sharper vision capabilities.

Wesley-Jessen, which is part of CIBA Vision offers more features than any other contact lens manufacturer. This contact lens manufacturing company features more than 85 combinations of contact lenses to meet all eye requirements of contact lens wearers around the world.
