Collection: Toric Contact Lenses

Toric contact lenses are designed to correct astigmatism. In addition to spherical power, toric lenses use cylinder and axis parameters to provide the required astigmatism correction. They are available with different replacement schedules, including daily disposable and reusable options.

How toric contact lenses correct astigmatism

Astigmatism affects how light is focused in the eye and can cause blurred or distorted vision. Toric contact lenses are designed with different powers in different meridians of the lens to correct this type of refractive error.

Because the cylinder correction needs to remain in the correct orientation, toric contact lenses also use design features that help stabilise the lens on the eye. The exact stabilisation design varies between lens models.

Understanding cylinder and axis

Toric contact lens prescriptions include additional parameters compared with standard spherical lenses. Cylinder (CYL) indicates the amount of astigmatism correction, while axis (AXIS) indicates the orientation of that correction. Power, base curve and diameter may also vary between lens models.

Our guide to contact lens parameters explains the most common values used when ordering contact lenses online.

Daily and reusable toric contact lenses

Toric lenses are available with different replacement schedules. If you prefer single-use lenses that are discarded after each day of wear, explore our daily contact lenses. Reusable toric lenses are also available, including lenses with monthly replacement schedules. You can explore our monthly contact lenses to compare the different replacement routines.

Always follow the replacement and wearing instructions for the specific lens model recommended for you.

Choosing and reordering toric contact lenses

When reordering toric contact lenses, use the same lens model and prescription parameters recommended for you by your optician or eye care professional. Check all relevant values carefully, including power, cylinder, axis, base curve and diameter.

Matching prescription values alone does not necessarily mean that a different toric lens is a suitable replacement. Lens design, fit, material and available parameters vary between products, so consult your optician or eye care professional before changing to another lens model or brand.

Caring for reusable toric contact lenses

Daily disposable toric lenses are discarded after use and do not require cleaning or storage. Reusable toric lenses should be cleaned, disinfected and stored according to the instructions for the specific lens and care product. Use a suitable contact lens solution and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
