Have you been told you have astigmatism and wondered if contact lenses are still an option? In many cases, they are when properly fitted and monitored by an experienced eye doctor.
Toric Contact Lenses in Winder, GA
Yes, You Can Wear Contacts with Astigmatism
Astigmatism causes blurred or distorted vision because the eye is not perfectly round. Toric contact lenses are specifically designed to correct this type of refractive error.
Unlike standard lenses, toric lenses must stay stable on the eye to maintain clear vision. That stability is why proper eye evaluation and fitting are essential.
Why Proper Toric Lens Fitting Matters
Toric lenses are more precise than standard contacts. If they rotate or shift, vision can become inconsistent throughout the day.
Dr. Snyder has over 27 years of experience fitting contact lenses, including hard-to-fit and advanced cases. Careful measurements and follow-up visits help ensure clarity, comfort, and long-term eye health.
Who May Benefit from Toric Contact Lenses
Toric lenses may be appropriate for:
-
Patients diagnosed with astigmatism
-
Individuals who experience blurred vision with standard contacts
-
Teens or adults who prefer contacts over glasses
-
Patients seeking daily, multifocal, or other toric options
Dr. Snyder will determine the most appropriate lens type during your contact lens evaluation.
