  • Title: Correction of astigmatism with contact lenses.
    Author: Opacić KC.
    Journal: Acta Clin Croat; 2012 Jun; 51(2):305-7. PubMed ID: 23115961.
    Abstract:
    Contact lens correction of astigmatism is reviewed. According to literature data, rigid gas permeable lenses are the lenses of choice in correction of irregular and high astigmatism. The crucial advantage of rigid gas permeable lenses is clear vision and stable correction of astigmatism. Soft toric lenses ensure quick adaptation and comfort. The most prominent disadvantage of soft toric contact lenses is variable visual acuity caused by lens rotation.
