I have just gotten a new prescription and have been wearing glasses, but wanted to try contacts. Well, they had to order them because they said I have astigmatism and require a toric lens. I’ve heard a lot of negative things about them all over the internet, but if you read they product reviews, every company has “the best” lens there ever was. So, I’m asking ya’ll, what’s your opinion? What kind do you wear and do you have a lot of trouble with them?
I personally don’t wear contacts, but I work for an O.D. and our most prescribed brand of toric lens are Biomedics Toric from Cooper Vision. They have a high water content so they don’t dry the eye out as much as some others might. They’re a two-week wear and we hardly ever get complaints.
I wear Frequency 55 Toric by CooperVision. I haven’t had problems with them at all. I love them, I can’t feel them in my eye at all. The trial pair they gave me were Acuvue, I found that they were very uncomfortable and flimsy. You should be able to find a brand that works for you.
