About this course
Soft toric contact lenses are a type of corrective contact lens designed to correct astigmatism. Astigmatism is a refractive error caused by an irregularly shaped cornea, resulting in blurred or distorted vision. Soft toric lenses have different powers in different meridians of the lens, allowing them to compensate for the astigmatism and provide clear vision. These lenses are made from soft and flexible materials, offering comfort and ease of use. They are available in various designs and parameters to suit individual eye shapes and astigmatism needs.
