Toric Contact Lenses vs. Regular Contact Lenses: Key Differences
In terms of vision correction, contact lenses provide a practical and adaptable substitute for glasses. However, not all contact lenses are created equal, especially when it comes to addressing specific vision conditions like astigmatism. In this blog, we’ll explore the key differences between Toric Contact Lenses and regular contact lenses, focusing on their design and functionality, particularly for those with astigmatism. Understanding Astigmatism Astigmatism is a common vision condition caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens inside the eye. Instead of being perfectly round, the cornea or lens is shaped more like a football, leading to distorted or blurred vision. Unlike nearsightedness or farsightedness, which affect vision uniformly, astigmatism causes light to focus on multiple points on the retina, resulting in unclear vision at all distances. What Are Regular Contact Lenses? Regular contact lenses, also known as spherical lenses, are designed to correct nearsight...
