Toric contact lenses for astigmatism correction are available from various brands, with specific materials, designs and features. In general, toric lenses are designed to maintain stable on the cornea. However, a small portion of toric lens wearers may experience lens rotation, which is surely to affect vision quality. In this case, these individuals should see a contact lens specialist to search out the underlying cause.

Two kinds of astigmatism are widely known: corneal astigmatism and lenticular astigmatism, both of which can be corrected by eyeglasses, contacts or refractive surgeries. While the former type results from irregular shaped cornea, the latter type is caused by irregular lens shape.

Nowadays, toric contact lenses are available in nearly all lenses types, such as soft materials, disposable, frequent replacement, multifocals and colored types.
