Toric & Astigmatism Contact Lenses Collection

Toric contact lenses at TA-TO.com are specially designed to correct astigmatism, a common vision condition caused by an irregular curvature of the cornea or lens in the eye. These lenses offer several distinct advantages over regular spherical lenses and glasses, making them a valuable option for those with astigmatism.

Advantages of Toric Contact Lenses

Here's an overview of the key benefits of toric lenses in our collection:

Stable Vision Correction

One of the primary advantages of toric lenses is their ability to provide stable and consistent vision correction. Unlike regular lenses, toric lenses have a unique shape and design that prevent them from rotating in your eye, ensuring that they stay aligned to correct the specific distortions caused by astigmatism.

Customized Fit

Toric lenses are tailored to fit the unique shape of an astigmatic eye. They often have thicker zones at certain points around the lens to prevent them from rotating once they are in place. This customization helps improve the comfort and effectiveness of the lenses.

Wide Range of Options

Toric lenses come in a variety of options, including soft and rigid gas permeable (RGP) materials, as well as in daily, weekly, and monthly disposables. This variety allows individuals to choose a lens based on their personal comfort preferences, lifestyle needs, and handling capabilities.

Enhanced Comfort

Many modern toric lenses are made from silicone hydrogel, a material known for its excellent oxygen permeability. This allows more oxygen to reach the cornea, reducing the risk of eye irritation and providing greater comfort, especially for those who wear their lenses for extended periods.

How to Wear and Care for Toric Contact Lenses

Toric contact lenses require careful handling and proper care to ensure they function optimally and provide clear, stable vision. Here's a straightforward guide on how to wear and care for toric lenses effectively:

Wearing Toric Contact Lenses

1. Wash and Dry Your Hands: Before touching your lenses, always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water to remove any dirt or germs. Dry your hands with a lint-free towel.

1. Check the Lens Orientation: Toric lenses have a specific orientation due to their design. Before inserting, make sure the lens isn't inside out. Most toric lenses have markings, which are usually one or two lines or a series of dots, that indicate the correct orientation. These should be checked under good light.

Inserting the Lens:

• Place the lens on the tip of your index finger.
• Use your other hand to hold your upper eyelid to prevent blinking.
• Pull down your lower eyelid with the other fingers of your applying hand.
• Look up or straight ahead, and gently place the lens on your eye.
• Slowly release your eyelids and blink a few times to center the lens.

1. Check for Correct Placement: Once the lens is in, look in different directions to ensure it feels comfortable and does not move or rotate excessively. The lens should stabilize quickly due to its weighted design.

Caring for Toric Contact Lenses

Here are some tips for caring the toric contact lenses:

Cleaning and Disinfecting

• Daily Clean: After removing the lenses, apply a few drops of recommended contact lens solution and gently rub the lens in the palm of your hand. This helps remove deposits and contaminants.
• Rinse: Rinse the lenses thoroughly with the solution recommended by your eye care provider to remove the loosened debris.
• Disinfect: Place the lenses in a clean lens case and fill it with fresh disinfecting solution. Leave the lenses in the solution for the specified amount of time, usually overnight.

Proper Storage

• Always use fresh solution in your lens case; never "top off" old solution.
• Replace your lens case every three months to reduce the risk of contamination.
• Keep the lens case clean and dry when not in use.

Regular Replacement

• Follow the replacement schedule prescribed by your eye care professional-whether daily, monthly, or bi-weekly.
• Regular replacement prevents protein buildup on the lenses, which can affect vision and comfort.

Handling Tips

• Avoid using water directly on lenses or storing them in tap water.
• Do not wear lenses while swimming or in hot tubs.
• Avoid using saliva to wet or clean your lenses.

Frequently Asked Questions about Toric Contact Lenses

Here are the most common questions we receive at TA-TO.com:

What is astigmatism and how do toric lenses correct it?

Astigmatism is a common vision condition caused by an irregular curvature of the cornea or lens that leads to blurred or distorted vision. Toric contact lenses are designed to correct this by having different powers in different meridians of the lens to precisely counteract the irregularities of the cornea.

How do toric contact lenses stay in the right position on the eye?

Toric lenses are designed with a specific orientation to maintain their position through methods such as thin-thick zones, ballasting (bottom-heavy design), or truncation (where the bottom of the lens is slightly flattened). This helps them align correctly with the astigmatism in your eye.

Can I wear toric lenses if I participate in sports?

Yes, toric lenses are suitable for athletes and those who lead active lifestyles. They are designed to remain stable during rigorous activities, ensuring consistent vision correction.

Are toric lenses available as daily disposables?

Yes, toric lenses come in various replacement schedules, including daily disposable options. This is convenient for those who prefer a low-maintenance solution for their vision correction needs.

How do I know if my toric lenses are fitted correctly?

Proper fit of toric lenses is crucial. Signs of a good fit include clear and stable vision, comfortable lens wear throughout the day, and lenses that do not rotate or move excessively on your eyes. If you experience discomfort or blurred vision, you should consult your eye care provider.

What should I do if my toric lens rotates on my eye?

Minor rotations might correct themselves with a few blinks. If your lens continues to rotate or provides inconsistent vision, it might not be fitted properly. Consult your eye care professional for adjustments.

How long can I wear toric contact lenses each day?

The wearing time can vary depending on the specific lens type and your eye health. Some toric lenses are designed for extended or continuous wear, but your eye care professional should provide a recommended wearing schedule based on your individual needs.
