What Are Contacts for Astigmatism and Dry Eyes?

Contacts for astigmatism—called toric lenses—feature special shapes to correct the uneven curvature of the cornea, which is what causes blurry or double vision. For those with dry eyes, the issue is often compounded, as older or standard lens materials can dry out, leading to irritation or discomfort after just a few hours. The best lenses for this combination are those designed to optimize both visual stability and moisture retention. At iDoctor, we specialize in these exact challenges.

How We Identify and Fit the Right Lenses

• We use advanced corneal mapping to measure astigmatism precisely, allowing us to select toric lens designs that offer the most stability and crispness.
• Digital phoropters and Optikam digital measurements improve the accuracy of both your glasses and contact lens prescriptions.
• During a contact lens fitting, we test different high-moisture, silicone hydrogel lenses in-office, ensuring that the lens sits comfortably and vision remains sharp even after hours of wear.
• We offer detailed follow-ups and provide free trial lenses, making adjustments as needed for exceptional comfort.

Brands available at iDoctor include Acuvue, Biofinity, DAILIES, Air Optix, Clariti, MyDay, and Ultra, each formulated with technology to lock in moisture and reduce friction on the eye surface.
