Complex Contact Lens Fitting in Gold Coast
Hi, I’m Paul. I work with patients of all backgrounds and I find that contact lenses can add an extra level of lifestyle flexibility when it comes to seeing clearly every day. These days, people are multi-tasking more than ever which can be a challenge to stay focused, and most importantly comfortable. I’d like to help more families in the “Your Location” area experience how contact lenses can provide an extra lifestyle benefit that they may not have had access to previously because of the latest advances in technology.
Tried Contact Lenses Before… But They Didn’t Work?
Many people with astigmatism are told contact lenses “might not work well” for them, or they try them and experience:
Blurry or fluctuating vision
Lenses that rotate or feel unstable
Discomfort after a few hours
In many cases, this isn’t because contact lenses don’t work.
It’s because they weren’t fitted precisely enough.
Contact Lenses Designed for Astigmatism
Modern contact lenses for astigmatism (toric lenses) are designed to stay stable on the eye and provide clear, consistent vision.
The key is selecting the right lens and fitting it accurately. With the right approach, many people who previously struggled with contact lenses are able to wear them successfully.
We focus on:
Lens stability and orientation
Comfort throughout the day
Clear vision at all times, not just moments
We offer a wide range of toric contact lenses designed to correct astigmatism, featuring advanced stability technology for clear, consistent vision. Top brands include monthly Biofinity Toric/XR, daily disposable MyDay Toric, and Clariti 1 Day. These lenses are known for comfort, breathability, and stable fit.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Contact Lenses for Astigmatism
Can I wear contact lenses if I have astigmatism?
Yes, most people with astigmatism can wear contact lenses using specialised designs that provide stable vision.
Why were my previous contact lenses blurry or unstable?
This often comes down to lens fit and stability. If the lens rotates on the eye, vision can fluctuate. A more precise fitting can help resolve this.
Are contact lenses for astigmatism comfortable?
Yes, modern lenses are designed for comfort, and when fitted correctly, they should feel natural to wear.
Do toric lenses for astigmatism cost more?
They can be slightly more than standard lenses, but the improvement in vision and comfort is often significant.
Can I try them before deciding?
Yes, you’ll be able to try lenses during your fitting so you can see how they feel and perform.
