Consumers Guide to Daily Disposable Toric Contact Lenses

Can I wear Daily Disposable Toric Contact Lenses?

Yes, you probably can. If you see your eye care practitioner he can undertake a contact lens trial and tell you for sure.

Astigmatism, a common vision condition, is caused when the front surface of the eye, called the cornea, is not perfectly round. Instead of having equal curvatures like a basketball, it has several different curvatures like a football. Light is focused differently in the eye, leading to blurred vision. In the past, soft contact lens options were limited because of your astigmatism.

Daily disposable contact lenses toric contact lenses for astigmatism are currently only manufactured by one manufacturer - Cibavision and are called Focus Daily Toric lenses.

These lenses come in a limited range of powers and so are not suitable for everyone.

At the moment they only correct -0.75 of astigmatism in axes of 90 and 180. However, often this is enough to make a significant difference to your vision, even if you have a little more astigmatism than this which are not exactly at these angles. Once again, your eye care practitioner can undertake a contact lens trial and advise accordingly.
