Toric lenses are uniquely shaped to provide different powers in different meridians of the lens to address both the spherical and cylindrical prescriptions needed for individuals with astigmatism. (lens.com)
Cylinder and Axis: Astigmatism is characterized by two components in an eyeglass or contact lens prescription: the spherical power (measured in diopters) and the cylindrical power (also measured in diopters) along with an axis (a degree measurement). (lens.com)
Fitting: Fitting toric contact lenses requires additional expertise compared to spherical lenses, as the optometrist or ophthalmologist must determine the correct power, axis, and fit for the specific individual's astigmatism. (lens.com)
Rather than having a perfectly spherical surface like standard contact lenses, toric lenses have a more oblong shape made to accommodate the shape of the astigmatic eye. (willowlawneyecare.com)

Varieties: Toric contact lenses come in various designs, including soft disposable toric lenses and rigid gas permeable (RGP) toric lenses. (lens.com)
The irregular shape of the eye makes it hard for traditional contact lenses to fit and provide clear vision and therefore requires specialized contact lenses such as toric lenses or rigid gas permeable lenses (RGPs). (willowlawneyecare.com)
Toric lenses can be made of either soft or rigid gas permeable (RGP or GP) lens material, however the soft toric lenses are more common. (willowlawneyecare.com)
If this rotation continues with a soft toric lens, a rigid gas permeable lens might be more effective. (willowlawneyecare.com)
Rigid gas permeable lenses have a longer initial adjustment time, but once this has passed they are usually just as comfortable as soft contact lenses and they are often easier to care for. (willowlawneyecare.com)
