Toric lenses are made to bend light in a direction to correct astigmatism. In more severe cases of astigmatism, an eye doctor may recommend a gas-permeable, rigid contact lens instead of soft toric lenses. ... Patients wear Ortho-K rigid lenses for a period of time to reshape the cornea curvature.

Hi friend_______,
★ In this defect, the eye cannot see parallel and horizontal lines clearly.
★ It may be inherited or acquired.
★ It is due to the imperfect structure of eye lens due to the development of cataract on the lens, ulceration of cornea, injury to the refracting surfaces etc..
★ It is corrected by cylindrical lenses (Torrid lenses).
Thank you..
