Contact lenses containing the word “Toric” or “Astigmatism” e.g. 1-Day Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism or PureVision Toric are for patients with an astigmatism. Astigmatism is where the rugby ball-shaped curvature of the eye causes there to be two different prescriptions in the eye, resulting in blurred vision. This needs to be corrected by toric lenses with multiple prescriptions.
