Proclear Toric XR

Proclear Toric XR – your prescription for astigmatism

Short of getting a surgical procedure done to fix the irregularity in the cornea which in itself is a deterrent because of the costs involved, for many years, astigmatism patients’ only recourse was to wear eyeglasses to be able to see clearly and minimize the headaches caused by their blurry vision. It was only later on that contact lenses were also able to treat astigmatism and this was hailed as a big bonus and development for astigmatic patients.

However, though many types of soft contact lenses for astigmatism, or what you call Torics, became available from different manufacturers, they were also only limited to the regular or normal parameters for the condition. Higher values required the traditional contact lenses which were usually one-year replacements and cost a lot more than the usual.

The release of Proclear Toric XR by CooperVision, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of contact lenses, paved the way for a more extended range of prescription powers. Proclear Toric XR has more parameters for astigmatism in a monthly disposable package. So instead of the traditional yearly replacement, you now need to follow an easy to remember monthly replacement schedule for your Proclear Toric XR contact lenses. This is actually good practice as it promotes better eye health since you change your contact lenses very often.

The only thing different from Proclear Toric XR is that since these are custom-made lenses, you may have to wait a couple of weeks longer than the regular waiting time for ordinary lenses, especially if you order online. However, since the comfort and convenience of having these contact lenses outweigh that of the waiting time, you’ll be sure to appreciate them once you have them. After all, clear vision with comfort and convenience is what everyone is looking for in a pair of contact lenses, right?
