subject: Toric Contact Lenses- Best Alternatives For Astigmatism [print this page] In the past, astigmatism is treated with glasses, not contacts. However, with the rapid achievements in the industry, there are also some soft lenses than can cure astigmatism perfectly. These lenses are called toric contacts that are made of soft lenses and delicately designed.
In fact, the manufactures of toric contacts have considered some other common situations beside astigmatism. So consumers can find toric contacts that can cure both astigmatism and nearsightedness or farsightedness. These lenses are so delicately made that they are almost like some inborn parts of the wearers. Hence, these contacts will not drop off or rotate in the eyes.
Like many other soft lenses, toric contacts are soft and disposable lenses. If wearers want to wear the colors that they love, they should consult with their eye doctors first. If the eye doctors think some colors are suitable for them, they can choose toric contacts of such colors. Any way, colored toric contacts can make wearers much more attractive.
There are also some difference among troic contacts and other soft lenses. First, these lenses are much expensive, for these lenses are very complex to make. Second, the wearing of these lenses is more complicated than common soft lenses. Third, these lenses should be carefully maintained and cleaned. The last one is wearers should follow the suggestions of their eye doctors before or after buying these lenses.
Of course, wearers should pay more attention to their lenses while doing some specific things. Such as, while driving, there are many dusts in the air, so wearers should shield these dusts. These lenses should also be placed into the solutions if they do not use them.
