Our Approach

Toric Contact Lens Fitting for Astigmatism

Astigmatism is one of the most common reasons people are told they "can't" wear contacts. That's not true — it just requires a specialist who takes the time to fit correctly.

Toric lenses have a specific orientation that must align precisely with your eye. Many practices rush through the fitting. At Austin Optics, we take every step needed until your vision is clear and comfortable.

"I was told for years I couldn't wear contacts because of my astigmatism. Iris changed that."
