Astigmatism refers to a cornea that is not perfectly round. Today astigmatism can probably be corrected with soft toric contact lenses.

After Care
Once you have purchased your contact lenses and have started the adaptation period, you will require regular check-ups. Your first check up is usually within a fortnight of collecting your lenses.
Routine check ups also provide the chance to ensure that the lenses you are wearing still meet your needs and are still the best products available to you. Advances in contact lens material and design, as well as the solution systems, are constantly being made to bring additional benefits to contact lens wearers.

Contact lenses FAQs
Is wearing contacts safe?
When properly cared for, contact lenses can correct your vision safely and effectively. However, if you’re not practising good hygiene, wearing contact lenses can increase your chance of getting an eye infection. Under professional guidance, contact lenses can provide a safe and effective means of correcting vision.
How long can you wear contacts?
Depending on the lens, the manufacturer, and your eye condition, you may need to wear the lens for a different amount of time. You can wear most types of soft, disposable contact lenses for 12 to 16 hours at a time, but you should consult your optician first.
When should you not wear contacts?
There are certain situations when you should avoid wearing contact lenses to protect your eye health, for example, when you have an eye infection, when you’re experiencing allergies or when following eye surgery. You should not wear contact lenses while swimming or sleeping to avoid infections.
