Vertex Toric Contact Lens by CooperVision Correct Astigmatism

The Vertex toric contact lens gives users crisp, clear vision despite having astigmatism. Created by CooperVision, these lenses are considered by many to be among the best soft contacts in the business. These disposable contact lenses are a frequent replacement lens that is replaced every two weeks with a brand new pair. This allows for minimum cleaning and disinfecting. Formerly sold under the Encore name, Vertex lenses resist protein and lipid buildup on the surface, which minimizes potentially harmful eye infections from occurring.

Lenses in the Vertex line are designed to provide maximum comfort with each and every new pair used. Their patented technology ensures a perfectly smooth edge on each lens manufactured. This gives the lens more stability on the eye and less movement. Less movement means better vision for those with astigmatism. To make sure your lens fits properly, you may have to go to your eye care professional several times to ensure a good fit. Lenses for astigmatism patients must not rotate on the eye or vision correction will be disrupted. Another feature of Vertex lenses is a light blue visibility tint to provide easy insertion and removal. Along with their unique design, Vertex lenses are easy to handle and maintain.

Astigmatism is a hereditary condition that often presents itself in the early forties. Most eyes have the form of a sphere but in cases of astigmatism, the cornea is more of an oblong shape. This causes light to focus in two parts on the back of the eye, rather than the normal one. The result is either nearsightedness or farsightedness. Both can be corrected with eyeglasses or contacts.
