What Is Astigmatism?

Astigmatism occurs when the cornea or natural lens has an uneven curvature, causing light rays to focus irregularly on the retina.

Common Symptoms of Astigmatism

• Blurred or distorted vision
• Eye strain
• Headaches
• Difficulty seeing at night
• Glare and halos around lights
• Difficulty focusing on screens
  
  

Astigmatism may occur along with:

• Myopia (nearsightedness)
• Hyperopia (farsightedness)
• Presbyopia

Early diagnosis and proper vision correction help improve overall visual clarity and comfort.

How Toric Contact Lenses Work

Toric lenses are designed to remain stable on the eye so the corrective power stays aligned with the patient’s astigmatism axis.

Key Features

• Weighted stabilization zones
• Thin-thick lens design
• Orientation control technology
• Rotational stability

These features help maintain proper lens positioning during blinking and eye movement for stable vision correction.
