Does anyone know where I can find toric lenses in that color? I’ve been scoping the internet for some, but haven’t found any. Thanks!!!
P.S. I have a slight astigmatism. I’ll be checking in with a doctor soon, though to see if I still have it. : )
Durasoft 3 Optifit Toric Colors has a violet color!http://www.1800contacts.com/lens/durasof…
Mind you these lenses are sold separately in vials and they are about 100 bucks per lens on the internet so retail they will more expensive.
There are other brands of toric colors…. but as you have found they have limited sizes and colors!
If you have a slight astigmatism (under 1.00 diopter which is considered mild) it is likely they will fit you with a spherical lens (because most torics are not available with a cylinder less then -0.75)
So it is most likely you will be able to wear regular spherical color contact lenses!
In that case you may be able to wear something like freshlook colors (which has violet) Regardless you will need a contact lens fitting from your eye doctor
There’s one brand out there for astigmastism that have colored lenses but I’m not sure whether they have violet or not. The brand is called Acuview or something like that. Hope that helps.
Durasoft 3 Optifit Toric lenses come in a violet and the cost will be around 300 dollars…depending on where you go. They are the one year lenses and will last longer depending on how often you wear them and how well you take care of them. They go up to a -8.00 in the sphere and -5.75 for the astigmatism.
