Acuvue toric contact lenses from Johnson
and Johnson are designed for people with astigmatism.
Astigmatism
is a condition, when cornea or eye lens is irregularly
shaped which causes light images to focus on two separate
points in the eye and creates a distorted image. In other
words, people who suffer from astigmatism see everything
blurred at any distance. Toric lenses can fix this problem.
Acuvue Torics are soft contact lenses that are made from
the same material as other Acuvue contacts, but they have
two powers. One is for astigmatism, another for farsightedness
or nearsightedness. Also Acuvue is heavier at the bottom,
so it couldn’t rotate in your eye.
Acuvue toric lens is 1-2 week replacement contact lens.
Torics by Acuvue are made of 58% water and 42% polymer,
such high percentage of water makes the lens exceptionally
comfortable. Acuvue torics comes in 12 lens package.
