If you are are on a budget but are looking for toric contact lenses for your astigmatism, then you may want to give Soflens Toric by Bausch and Lomb a try. They are among the least expensive toric lenses but offer great value for your dollar.
Soflens Toric (formerly known as Soflens 66 Toric) lenses are for daily wear and are disposable weekly or bi-weekly. Alternatively, they can also be used for extended wear from one to seven days between removals.
Astigmatism causes rays of light to scatter in different directions instead of focusing on the retina, which results in blurred vision. Soflens Toric lenses fight this problem by using a unique “Lo-Torque” design that provides great stability for the lens when it is placed on the eye. This stability allows the contact lens to effectively act as a prism that properly focuses light rays on the retina, therefore stopping the scattering of light that astigmatism causes.
Like most toric lenses, Soflens Toric are thicker at the bottom. Their design provides for a wedge-shaped tapered section on the front and upper surface of the lens. This wedge shape causes the lens to be thinner than usual towards the top, which results in minimal lens weight and maximum comfort.
