A Complete Guide to Toric Lenses and Stylish Alternatives
"Can I wear colored contacts if I have astigmatism?"
Itโs one of the most common questions among lens users with vision irregularities.
The answer is yes โ but with a few important considerations!
๐๏ธ Why Colored Contacts with Astigmatism Need Special Attention
ย
Astigmatism causes blurry or distorted vision due to the irregular shape of the cornea. While most regular colored contacts are made for nearsighted or farsighted users, astigmatism requires a different type of lens.
๐ฏ What Are Toric Colored Contacts?
ย
Toric Colored Contacts are specially designed to correct astigmatism while enhancing or changing your eye color.
Unlike standard lenses, toric lenses:
- Correct astigmatism with specific cylinder and axis values
- Require a more precise fit for stable positioning
- Prevent lens rotation on the eye
- Often have fewer color and design options
If you're looking for toric lenses that are both corrective and cosmetic:
