Contact lenses: what matters most
Most contact lens problems come down to:
- fit
- stability
- comfort over a full day
- and whether the eye surface is healthy enough for comfortable wear
Can I wear contacts with astigmatism?
Often yes — toric lenses can work well, but they need to fit and remain stable.

When “specialty” lenses help
Specialty options may be considered when:
- standard lenses are uncomfortable or unstable
- you have a more complex prescription
- you have corneal or eye surface factors that require a different approach
