Toric lenses explained: A game-changer in astigmatism management

Astigmatism is a common vision condition caused by an irregular curvature of the cornea or lens, resulting in blurred or distorted vision at all distances. Toric lenses are specifically designed to correct this irregular shape, offering patients a clearer and more stable visual experience. These lenses are now widely used both in contact lenses and intraocular lenses (IOLs), particularly in cataract or refractive lens surgery.
