Product Information

Astigmatism is an incredibly common eye condition that occurs when a person’s lens or cornea has an elongated shape rather than a regular spherical curve. When the cornea and lens are spherical, the light coming into the eye can focus on one spot on the retina, resulting in clear vision. Corneas with an elongated shape produce blurry vision because the light tries to focus on multiple parts of the retina instead of one area. Fortunately, those with astigmatism can see clearly with the help of corrective lenses made especially for astigmatism. Many contact lens wearers fear that having astigmatism means that contacts are no longer an option, but this isn’t the case as there are toric contact lenses made to correct this very issue.

Bausch and Lomb PureVision Toric contact lens are a great solution to astigmatism. While typical contacts lenses can float around and rotate on the eye without causing any disturbance to vision, toric lenses need to stay relatively stationary to offer the sharpest vision. Rather than having the same level of correction throughout the lens, as in regular contacts, toric contact lenses have multiple areas of correction in specific areas to deal with different correction needs. These different “zones” must stay in the proper places on the eye to work properly; that’s why PureVision Toric contact lenses for astigmatism feature enhanced prism balancing geometry to keep vision stable and clear.

While clarity is of the utmost importance when choosing toric lenses, comfort runs a close second. PureVision Toric contact lenses use their special AerGel material to keep eyes healthy and comfortable from morning until night. AerGel also resists build-up so that eyes have less chance of becoming red and irritated. The material stays moist and allows for natural amounts of oxygen to pass through to the cornea. Adding to their comfort, Bausch and Lomb PureVision Toric contacts are worn for only 30 days. After that, these monthly contact lenses can be tossed and replaced with a fresh new pair. Insertion is easy, too, as these lenses have a built-in visibility tint to make it easy to locate them in the soaking solution.

Wearing glasses is one option for those with astigmatism, but it’s not the only viable choice. PureVision Toric offer incredible comfort, steady clarity, natural breathability, and are created specifically for those with astigmatism. If you have astigmatism and prefer the freedom of wearing contact lenses, then PureVision Toric contact lenses may be for you.
