TIA Sure. There are actually quite a few toric multifocals and I have successfully fit a few. A doctor who is interested in fitting this lens design will have access to 9 different brands. If you can wear RGP multifocals and your astigmatism is cornea derived, you might have better success with RGP designs, but soft is certainly an option. Best of luck.

That's not necessarily relevant to your needs. The practitioner should be able to figure out which design is most appropriate for you. >and how much > will it run for the lenses? TIA Again, that will be up to the practitioner. Do remember that your costs will include office visits for fitting and follow-up in addition to the costs of the lenses. --LB |
