Astigmatism and Contact Lenses: What You Should Know
Astigmatism is a common condition caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens, leading to blurred vision at any distance. If you’ve been told in the past that contact lenses aren’t an option, things have changed for the better.
At Malaya Optical, we offer a wide range of toric contact lenses, specially designed to correct astigmatism , paired with expert fittings and long-term support. Whether you want convenience, clarity, or freedom from glasses, we’ll help you see sharper, faster.
What Are Toric Contact Lenses?
Toric lenses are shaped differently from standard contacts. They:
- Have different powers in different meridians of the lens
- Stay in place using stabilizing zones to correct astigmatic distortion
- Are available in daily, bi-weekly, monthly, and rigid gas permeable formats

The Toric Lens Fitting Process at Malaya Optical
Because toric lenses must remain in perfect alignment to work properly, the fitting is critical. Our expert optometrists follow a precise, guided fitting process:
- Keratometry & Topography – Measuring your eye curvature
- Tear Film Evaluation – To ensure lens hydration
- Trial Lens Assessment – Testing rotation, vision clarity, and comfort
- Adaptation Check – Follow-up visit after 1 week
We customize your lens fit for maximum clarity, comfort, and eye health.

If you wear monthly toric or RGP lenses, proper care is essential:
Daily Routine:
- Always wash hands before touching your lenses
- Use multi-purpose solution or hydrogen peroxide-based cleaners (ask our optometrists for recommendations based on your lens type)
- Rub & rinse your lenses for at least 20 seconds per side
Storage Tips:
- Replace lens case every 3 months
