Thank you so much for sharing this information! I am writing a report for school about the variation of contact lenses, their structure, purpose and effect. No other source could explain how toric lenses work as good as you did!

The most detailed explanations I've seen on KZfaq so far 👍👍

I've used both styles of toric lenses that you've described, both the ones that make the bottom heavier and the ones that vary the thickness, and I have to say, if given the option, I would never use the weighted ones again. There is nothing worse than trying to do a task that requires my head to be in a position other than straight up and down (such as trying to repair a pipe under a sink, thankfully not something I have to do too often, but it was the first example that came to mind) and after a minute or so having my vision go completely blurry because the lens has rotated out of position, have to stop what I'm doing, sit/stand back up, wait for the lenses to correct themselves, and go back to what I was doing (until the lenses rotate again).

THANK YOUR FOR THE DETALS AND VISUALS!!! This was exactly the type of video I was looking for😭

Great video. I used to wear B+L for years but they dried out a lot. I switched to Acuvue Oasys and they r so much more comfortable. I've found that rotating the lense sometimes helps it to focus better. And if my vision is blurry I probably need a deep clean on the contacts. Thanks for explaining that it doesn't matter how u put them in, I thought it did.

Amazing video man, answered all my questions. Thank you

Really helpful info Antonio! Thanks for sharing 🚀

Great video, mate, I got the information I came looking for.

You deserve million subscribers. Thanks for all informative/educational videos you made. God will bless you more...😊💖

I've just come across this video and I got astonished by how thorough your explanation was. Now I understand how my toric lenses work. Amazing content 💖

Antonio: Very helpful information regarding the toric lens settling itself into position just by blinking. (No need to examine what is top and bottom of this lens). I am wearing Acuvue Moist trial pack. These are the best so far. Your videos are most helpful. Thanks so much.

I just got contacts today for the first time ever and have astigmatism in both eyes of varying degrees. I also watched your video on how to put contacts in and take them out and i appreciate the amount of unformation you give! It took me a full hour at the eye doctors to get it right, but your explanation helped so much!

Great video, thanks a lot! My astigmatism increased from 0.5 to 0.75 so I'll have a go at wearing a toric lense for first time. Watching this video was a big help.

Appreciate how you explained what toric itself means, instead of just explaining how it is for astigmatism.

I agree we need more options. And they are horrible if you live in a hot place like Arizona. The heat can make them suction to your eye. 😭 Thank you for explaining. I’ve been wearing contact lenses since Jr High. I first had soft then had to move to A Toric Lenses with Astigmatism.

Only information I found on how to place lens. Thanks!

Thank you. I'm reading up on the different lens choices for cataract with astigmatism and was really confused by the brochures I was given by my surgeon.

low astigmatism does not need Toric lense. Great information. First time, truly understand, the meaning and NEED for Toric lenses.

Your presentation was excellent. You are a contribution to your profession

Great explanation, thanks Antonio!

Wow, thank you for this Video! I learned a lot Great & clear information. Keep it up :)

Also, i forgot to ask if toric lenses are a good option when you have astigmatism and myopia at the same time

Nice job explaining this.

Thanks so much for all your videos. Very helpful. My astigmatism is irregular. Only hard RGP work to smooth my cornea.

I've been told i have astigmatism but I use spherical lenses and see perfectly fine and feel more comfortable using spherical lenses than toric ones.

As someone who has astigmatism, I find toric lenses really helpful. Cannot stand the spherical lenses as they appear quite blurry for me! Only down side is it’s more expensive lol really well made video!!

The only video on internet about toric lenses!! Thank God i found you 😃 I was so confused being one in millions of normal lens users (feeling awkward 😂)that no one knew what the hell is toric!! But plz tell me i just tried them first time and felt awesome (the vision) but they felt a little bulky 😰 and also when looled closely i saw small horizontal lines at the left-right sides of outer lens, one small and one longer so does that mean the lines need to be in horizontal position or vertical while putting on? As you said about their auto correcting but my power is so less they won't so easily revolve i think 🤔 So plz tell if that's true or I'm just over thinking ! Is that only with me? Btw my prescription is only -0.75 both eyes

I don't wear contacts and I still enjoyed the video. Great presentation.

Crystal clear explanation

I have been wearing soft toric lenses for many years and ❤️ them! I wear them all the time and the newer ones (over last 10 years) never even feel like I have them in! When I first started wearing toric lenses nearly 30 years ago, they took some adjusting to because you could feel them and they cost over $300 for a single pair!😮 Now the ones my eye Dr has switched me to in more recent years (over the last 10 or so years), I can order 12 pair for less than $280 … and those 12 pair will easily last me 2 years! I don’t ever plan to change to anything other than torics at this point! I think being so faithful with wearing my torics all of the time (except when I had pink eye or something of that sort), has been what has kept my vision/prescription stable over the last 20+ years.

Thanks for the info.

Great information..

Yes I wish that the Daily lenses would come in a higher power for the sphere. Mine is -225 but i am currently wearing the Acuvue Oaysys for astigmatism and even though it is a 2 week lense i really do like it because they are so comfortable and they have the blink stability design so if you do have to rub your eye a bit it goes right back into place. What is your favorite brand and prescription if i may ask.

Your videos are so good. 👍

I bought colored contacts. My right eye did fine with them, but my left eye felt like it had something scratching on it. Everytime I blinked the contact lens would move up and down. I know I have astigmatism, but never really thought too much about it until now since I'm sure that's why my left eye didn't do well with the contact lens.

I have been trying different powers of contacts but still none of the ones I’ve tried seemed to give me as good vision as I have with glasses. Is it normal to not see as good with toric contact lenses? Or should my vision be as clear as they are with glasses?

Hi I am using contacts for the first time ever and they are toric, I had no idea what that meant and just stumbled on your video. Thanks for the info! Just one question, my eye doc had me try these (pro clear toric xr) on as well as two other brands and this one fit best. Apparently only three brands would work for my prescription, and astigmatism. Are the proclear toric xr good? Thanks again!

thank you for this video... I've worn toric lenses up until last year...I didn't realize that my eye doctor changed my contacts to regular contacts...I see ok on them but one of them may come out while sleeping... the doctor said my astigmatism was so strong that it won't make a difference if I wear toric lenses or not... that didn't make sense to me but I can see well with the regular contacts... what do you think have you heard of this before??

Nice one, thank you

wow you’re so helpful , I’m new to wearing contacts :) and i have astigmatism

My astigmatism comes and goes. Last year and this year I don’t need the Toric lenses. My boxes I order always say if it is Toric or not. I use CooperVision and been loving these lenses for years 😊

Hi! My glasses prescription is (L) S 1.50 C -0.5 and (R) S 3.00 C -0.5. Do I need to get toric lenses? Thank you!

Hi, Antonio! Thanks for making these informative videos. I have a question about what my optometrist prescribed me and I couldn't find an answer from watching your videos or other sources. My eyeglass prescription is R: PWR -1.75 CYL -3.75 AX 180 L: PWR -3.00 CYL -3.75 AX 180 He gave me 2 trial toric lenses. 1st is the same grade as my eyeglass prescription but both with CYL -2.25 and PWR -2.25 on the right eye. The 2nd is the exact eyeglass prescription he gave me. I thought the CYL is supposed to be lower in lenses and why did he give me a pair of trial lenses with CYL -2.25 & increased the PWR on my right eye? Is that okay? I'm so confused 😖 hope someone can explain this!

I have toric contacts and I was never told in my life that I have an astigmatism and my optician just said that I have strange eyes so I needed different contacts than normal people

Hey, your videos are ready helpful thank you. but i have a question. My i astigmatism is 0.50 what should i get?

Hello! Thanks for the videos. I have been watching a couple of your videos and I think it is very well made. You did really well at explaining the topic. Anyways, I have a question regarding this topic. A bit of my background, I have been wearing contact lens for more than 10 years but switch to glasses the past 2 years. This year, I started to wear lenses again but I found it to be uncomfortable unlike before. Previously, I used to Bausch & Lomb brand normal lens. Now due to my astigmatism, I switched toric lens. My issue is that I will have dry eyes and my vision was not as sharp as glasses. So, is it common for toric lens to be more uncomfortable and the vision to be less sharp?

Hi antonio.. is it possible to correct spherical vision with contact lenses and for astigmatism ..wear spactacles..specially in my case when cylindrical power is high.

Hello, I just bought toric contact lenses, but I want to know if there is a difference when you put it in compared to a "normal" contact lenses, thank you!

First of all Thank u very much for this video🙏🏻☺️ I’m using contact lenses for the first time. Unfortunately my left eye got toric lens and my right eye got spherical lens. My right eye having spherical lenses got fit very perfectly as I have no feel of having lens on my eye but I’m having a feel of having a lens in my left eye and it’s so bad how could I tackle this kindly help me Sir !

I have astigmatism and never knew that their was a specific name for these lenses.

When I see bright objects against a dark background , I see layers of that object around its edges (some sort of double vision ) and burst of lights around it. is this the sign of astigmatism?

Thank you so much

I dont think i have astigmatism but when I buy colored lenses they never stay in place, they'd drop down and make me look lazy eyed 😞 Any suggestion to what this may be?

I used to be a regular wearer of toric contact lenses but now I have become Presbyopic(in addition to Myopia and Astigmatism) that has become more expensive and narrow. The options for contacts are few and mostly custom made....

So I have an astigmatism in my right eye and for some reason the corner of my eye is always blurry and if I blank real hard the contact seems to move in there it’s very uncomfortable and I feel like ripping my eyeball out the eye doctor wants me to keep using the contacts for a few more days to see if I get used to it

Hey!...I have astigamatism in my left eye Cyl:-0.5 and sph:-1.25 Right eye has sph:-1 ...do I need normal lenses or toric lenses?

Do I have to pay double if my left eye has astigmatism and my right eye dosnt ? Also I'm trying to order them online but I can't change the diameter?

I just started my toric lenses a few days ago, is it common for my vision to still be blurry? I am doing everything that my eye doctor has told me the line I make sure is towards the bottom, I use bausch and lomb.. is this still common until my eyes get used to it?

i have astgmatism and i have ordered a not tonic contact lenses but I have opened the box so does it make a difference if I wear a non toric in my eyes ,(I'm just wearing it once a week for sport

please i have keratoconus which is technically similar to astigmatism with cylindrical power of -3 ,can i wear toric lenses ? because i heard for my case i should wear hard lenses or scleral

I wear torrid lenses because of astigmatism, but I've never really liked into what that meant, before. In my left eye, i barely met the threshold for torrid lenses, -.75, but my right eye I've got a -1.25 🙀. I've got a pretty strong rx, anyway, though, so I'm not surprised my eyes suck in other ways (-5.75 and -5.25, respectively). My optometrist, back when i first got these, only told me they were for astigmatism and left it at that.

This boy do got my back!

i have od sphere 5.00 / cylinder 0.50/ axis 165 and os sphere 5.00/ cylinder 0.75 / axis 175....should i use toric lenses or sphere lenses??? can you suggest me?

this video is so informative!!..i was palnning to switch over to torric lenses from my glasses ..but in the internet i saw many stuffs like toric lenses give you blur vison and is difficult to handle..is tat tru?..

4:55 answered my decade long question!

Hello, can you please explain the one line or three lines that appear near the edge in toric lenses means.

Thanks for the good info! I had all of these questions, but my optometrist explained nothing to me.

Hi! I have been given a prescription and I need toric lenses. I have been recommend lenses by my optometrist but for one of my eyes the CYL portion of my prescription isn’t available in this lense. E.g for my right eye I need -1.50 CYL but the lense is only available in -1.25 or -1.75 - should I go up or down or should I try and find a contact that is exact? Also my AXIS for both eyes is 5 but these lenses start at 10. Looking a bit of advice thanks!

My right eye power is -2.25, Cylinder 0.25 at axis 10. Left power is -3 (No cylinderical at left eye) Last week I went to an optical shop to purchase Contact lenses. I told the saleswoman that I have not worn contacts since many year. She gave me a free pair to try. It is a biweekly pair. I am wearing -2.00 at Right and -3 at Left. I am having a lot of problems with it. I asked the salesperson if I can get contact lenses with Cylinder power. She said with cyclinder 0.25 there is no need to get toric. My questions to you is, do lenses come with Cylinder 0.25. If not, then please give me some suggestions ?

Do you have to make sure that little line is on the bottom when you put them in? I got a somewhat double vision like view. Even though I had them on for hours

what are all the potential causes of blurry vision with a toric lens? My left eye has a -0.50 cyl correction, so it just takes a spherical lens, and my right eye takes a -1.25 cyl axis 090 toric. Well my left eye clears up pretty nicely, but my right eye not as much. It's driving me nuts. I seen the optometrist yesterday to check the fit. He said it was sitting at the correct orientation, and it was sitting stable with every blink under the slit lamp. but it still looked like someone took the eye chart text and copied it into a new layer, and made it slightly translucent, and translated the layer up and over a little bit in Gimp. At first I thought it could have been dry eyes, or maybe a dirty contact. but I don't think thats the case cause he had me take out my right contact and try a different one to see it had any improvement and it didn't improve it much. I do know it seems to go clearer and blurrier depending on day. The optometrist is going to order me another brand to see if that works better, in the meanwhile I'm trying to find answers. maybe my right eye needs to get used to it more. I should try a spherical lens and see if that ends up seeing better.

Because of my astigmatism I wear the toric lens. I have been wanting to wear color contacts for years but it is hard to find. Can I damage my eyes by wearing non-prescription color contacts with my prescription glasses?

I have a smaller astigmatism at around 180, and aspherical contact lens like Biofinity and Air Optix Aqua works better for me versus spherical contact lens. Can you make a video about this

perfect video

I just got Sofmed toric lenses and I’m soo blurry! I don’t feel them in my eye or have irritation just feels like a cloud film covering my eyes. I have tried cleaning them and trying them after a few hours but nothing. The doctor was super unhelpful and I don’t know if I should persevere or not.

I've noticed quite a few toric lenses on the market that go down as low as -0.25 cyl. Do you have any views on these for people with milder astigmatism in that range?

Very informative... glad to bump into yr video. I am a multifocal contact lens user, & I hv astig, can i hv toric lens in this case?

I always wondered if the little line on the Toric lenses means if I had to put them on in a specific way. Perhaps you can help me with this question?

I find them more uncomfortable than spherical contacts... I only wear a toric lens in my right eye and I constantly feel it in there, while I can barely ever feel the left contact...

I wear toric lens, left eye is clear but the right eye sees thing a little smaller and blur, what could be the problem?

Antonioa what is the diffrence between scleral contacts and toric contact for kerataoncus treatment is their a diffrence?

I have just started wearing Toric Contacts, but still needing to wear cheaters (reading glasses) - told my Optometrist that I would love love to ditch glasses altogether - so I am going to try multifocal and mono-vision - do you have a preference between those two.

I’m trying to decide whether to get RGP or soft toric lenses. I would like to play racquetball wearing them and I want very clear vision. I had RGP contacts for 1 rear in 1989, and the were very uncomfortable. Do all optometrist have the ability to fit RGP lenses? What should I look for in finding one. I’m on Long Island in NY.

I have -5.00 astigmatism on both eyes.. it's so hard to find toric lens in optic stores. Its so frustating bcs i like running n hiking. The only contacts i've worn is the hard lens ones which i have to follow up at eye specialist clinic, but i hv so little time to do so 😭

Can you do a video on multifocal lenses.

doctor i wanna ask you if the lenses autocorrect themself about position in the eye i m talking horizontal and vertical axes

Sir it's been 4 days since I started to wear my toric contact lenses .. My vision is not so clear yet .. Bit blurry too .. I had perfect vision with spectacles . I have -5.5 and -5.0 cylindrical power in both eyes .. How long will it take to adapt to the toric lens?

Hello! I have left side of -0.75 -0. 75 135axis However I want to skip on the torics if my astigmatism isn't severe enough. Please let me know what'll be the closest spherical power for my eye :))

What happens if i wore a sperical lenes when i have a toric lenes power which is -0.50 ? I mean can i feel free to use them. . or is it gonna damage or effect my eyes anyhow ?

Great information!! Thanks for all details I was going to Google LoL 😂

I have a question. Can I order another brand of contacts online with the same RX info my doctor gave me? Or does it have to be the exact same brand?

Once i was a sapherical user but after couple of years i have astigmatism issue, doctor recommend me to use toric lenses but I'm facing focus issue with toric, how much time does toric takes to adjust with the cornea

I have pretty sever astigmatism -4.0 Cyl and really hope to try contacts when doing some sports. Not sure if it is even possible and wonder how much it may cost 😂.

Hey! I have extreme astigmatism in one eye (-4.5, and +2.25) in the other eye. Can I still get toric lenses? Also, do you recommend any brands for toric lenses

My glasses perscription is Right eye sph -3.5 cyl 0.75 axis 180 Left eye sph -3.25 cyl 1 axis 180 Should I take non toric lenses cause toric lens are not unavailable at my area. Please reply

I like your frames. Can I get a link to it? Thanks
