Do I need toric lenses for astigmatism?

Toric contact lenses are often the best choice for contact lens wearers with an astigmatism, because they’re specifically designed to address the problem.

Answer: Yes, they can. In astigmatism, the eye is not perfectly round, so normal soft lenses don’t work as they curve to fit the shape of the eye. If the astigmatism is light, then a rigid gas permeable lens can sit on the front of the eye as the round shape of the lens corrects the vision.
