What is lens toric?

Toric lenses are specialized lenses designed to correct astigmatism, a common vision condition that occurs when the cornea or lens of the eye is not perfectly round. Unlike traditional spherical lenses, which have a uniform curvature, toric lenses have different curvatures in different parts of the lens, allowing them to correct the irregular shape of the eye and improve vision for those with astigmatism. Toric lenses can be made from a variety of materials and can be designed for both soft and rigid gas permeable contact lenses. However, fitting toric lenses requires more specialization than fitting spherical lenses, and they can be more expensive. Proper fitting and care are essential to ensure the best vision correction possible.
