Proclear Compatible Toric Contact Lenses

If your doctor has prescribed Proclear Compatible Toric Contact Lenses for your vision correction, you may be wondering what the features of this type of lens is. There are a couple of specific aspects of this lens which makes it unique when compared to other contact lenses which are available. When you understand these unique aspects, you will better understand what your doctor has prescribed for your vision needs and why.

Correction of Astigmatism

By prescribing a “Toric” lens, your doctor has indicated that you have been diagnosed with astigmatism. This is a condition where you have a cornea (clear part on the front outer surface of your eye) which has an irregular shape to it. This irregular shape causes light passing into your eye to be improperly focused on your retina, causing blurry vision, double vision, and possibly headaches and strained vision. “Toric” lenses are contact lenses which are specially designed to correct astigmatism. Toric lenses are weighted and shaped so they will stay in one position on your eye, rather than rotating and floating around on your eye like traditional contact lenses tend to do. By staying on one place on your eye, a Toric lens can match the irregular shape of your cornea and correct your vision properly. Also, Toric lenses have multifocal properties, and can include various levels of vision correction all within the same lens.

Increased Comfort

The company, Biocompatibles, manufactures the “Proclear Compatibles” brand of Toric lenses. They indicate that this brand is unique in that it uses a new technology which allows these contacts to retain more moisture and reduce the build-up of deposits on the lens. This results in the lens being much more comfortable, so you can wear it all day long with no discomfort. It’s much more compatible with your eyes than lenses made with traditional materials.

As you can see, if your doctor has prescribed these lenses for you, then you have apparently been diagnosed with astigmatism which can be corrected by simply wearing Toric lenses. Also, your doctor has recommended one of the more comfortable brands of Toric lenses which are available. This will be a good choice which will allow you to see clearly, and enjoy the comfort and freedom of being able to keep your contacts in throughout the day without the discomfort that can sometimes result from extended periods of wearing more traditional contact lenses.
