The benefits of wearing bifocal contact lenses are obvious:

Toric contact lenses for patients with astigmatism.
Yes! Even patients who have astigmatism can enjoy the convenience and benefits of contact lens wear. Contact lenses that correct astigmatism, or toric contact lenses, have been around for some time. Recent advancements in toric contact lens design and technology have significantly improved visual stability, comfort, and range of correctable astigmatism.
It is important to remember that contact lenses are prescription medical devices, which must be properly worn and cared for according to your eye doctor's instruction.
Regular contact lens eye health evaluations are essential because pathologic eye changes can occur with improper contact lens wear, leading to discomfort and possibly the inability to wear contact lenses. Many contact lens related problems do not have any symptoms initially.
When you make an appointment with us, be sure to request a contact lens health evaluation. Dr. So will assess the health of your eyes as it relates to contact lens wear. Based on his findings, he will recommend a treatment plan to enhance your comfort and ocular health while wearing contacts. This will ensure that you will be able to enjoy the benefits of contact lens wear for many years to come.
