Contact lenses for people with astigmatism have come a long way. While at one time you couldn’t get soft contacts if you had that particular vision problem, now toric lenses come in both soft and hard varieties. One of the most comfortable brands of toric contact lenses for most people are Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism.

Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism is made by Johnson & Johnson, a company with products known for their quality. They are made with Acuvue’s Hydraclear, which gives them a very smooth and silky feel. There is no need to coat these contacts. Their shape allows them to conform to your eyes and they stay in place no matter what you are doing, unlike some contacts that move around when you blink. Best of all, they are disposable, so there is less chance of getting an infection. You don’t have to worry about cleaning them, or soaking them in a solution. You just change them every two weeks and go on with your life.

Many toric contact lenses start off comfortable but can start to feel uncomfortable by the end of the day. Acuvue Advance lenses stay in place for all day comfort. You’ll forget that you’re even wearing them sometimes. These toric lenses are breathable, allowing all available oxygen to get to your eyes for added comfort. They also block the sun’s dangerous UV rays from your eyes, which is another benefit of wearing these lenses.

Proclear toric contact lenses are another very good brand. Their PC technology contains phosphyrylcholine molecules, which are a substance actually found in human membranes. Because these molecules attract moisture, they can be worn comfortably for up to 12 hours. What makes these toric lenses truly unique is that this is the only brand that the FDA has approved to make the claim that they 搈ay provide improved comfort for contact lens wearers who experience mild discomfort or symptoms relating to dryness during lens wear.? Also, instead of changing these contacts every two weeks, you change them every month. Although they are about $10 more a box than Acuvue lenses, in the long run not having to change them as often will save you money.

Air Optix for Astigmatism is a brand of contacts that allows the wearer to use them for several days without removing them because they stay stable even while a person is asleep. Like other soft lenses, they are made of a very breathable silicone hydragel. They offer consistently stable vision and are great for people whose eyes get irritated by the end of the day with other lenses or have resigned themselves to wearing glasses because of problems finding lenses that were comfortable enough to want to wear all day.

When it comes to choosing toric contact lenses, the choice ultimately comes down to comfort, convenience and how well they improve your vision. The best way to find the right ones for you is to work with your doctor and try several different brands. You might like the convenience of a lens that can be used for a month at a time, or you may prefer lenses that need to be changed every two weeks. The truth is, you won’t know which contacts are best for you until you try them out.
