Toric Contact Lenses
If your contact lens prescription includes a cylinder (CYL) and axis value, you have astigmatism — and you need toric contact lenses. Toric lenses are specifically engineered to correct the uneven curvature of the cornea or lens that causes astigmatism, delivering clear, stable vision that standard spherical lenses simply cannot provide.
At BuyContactsOnline.com.au, we stock Australia's most comprehensive range of toric contact lenses, covering every major brand and replacement schedule. All lenses are sourced directly from authorised Australian distributors — 100% genuine and TGA-compliant.
Unlike spherical contact lenses, which have the same corrective power in every direction, toric lenses have two different powers built into a single lens — one to correct the underlying myopia or hyperopia, and one to correct the astigmatic component. The lens is also designed to stay in a specific rotational position on the eye, because even a small amount of rotation would compromise the astigmatic correction.
To achieve this stability, toric lenses use specialised design features such as prism ballast (a slightly thicker lower section that keeps the lens weighted downward), accelerated stabilisation zones, or peri-ballast designs. Different brands use different stabilisation approaches, and the right lens for each individual depends on their specific corneal shape, prescription, and wearing habits — which is why a proper toric contact lens fitting with your optometrist is essential before ordering.
Astigmatism is common, affecting approximately one in three people. It frequently occurs alongside myopia or hyperopia, and toric lenses correct all of these simultaneously in a single lens.
Our Toric Contact Lens Range
We carry toric lenses from all four major manufacturers, across both daily and monthly replacement schedules. Here's a guide to the brands and products available in this collection:
Johnson & Johnson Acuvue
Acuvue offers one of the strongest toric ranges available. 1 Day Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism is a daily disposable toric lens using LACREON moisture technology and BLINK STABILISED design — a four-point stabilisation system that keeps the lens in position through the natural movement of blinking, rather than relying purely on gravity weighting. Available in 30-pack and 90-pack options, it's a highly comfortable and proven daily choice. Acuvue Oasys 1-Day with HydraLuxe for Astigmatism is the premium daily toric option — combining the advanced tear-infused HydraLuxe technology with BLINK STABILISED design for outstanding comfort during long or demanding wearing days, including high screen time. Available in 30-pack and 90-pack formats. For monthly wearers, Acuvue Oasys with Hydraclear Plus for Astigmatism offers a two-weekly silicone hydrogel option with strong stabilisation and UV protection, and Acuvue Vita for Astigmatism is a true monthly lens with consistent moisture and stability for a full 30 days of wear.
Alcon (Dailies and Air Optix)
Alcon's toric range covers both daily and monthly needs. Dailies Total 1 for Astigmatism is the premium daily toric option — built on the same water gradient platform as the highly regarded Dailies Total 1 spherical lens, with an outer surface of more than 80% water for exceptional end-of-day comfort. Available in 30-pack and 90-pack formats, it's the most advanced daily toric lens on the market. Dailies AquaComfort Plus Toric is a strong everyday daily toric with moisture-releasing agents baked into the lens material for consistent comfort throughout the day. Available in 30-pack and 90-pack options. Precision1 for Astigmatism uses SMARTSURFACE technology — a moisture-rich outer layer that makes up more than 80% water — to deliver excellent comfort at a more accessible price point, available in 30-pack and 90-pack formats. For monthly wearers, Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism combines silicone hydrogel breathability with SmartShield technology for deposit resistance and STABILISE DESIGN for consistent rotational stability.
Bausch + Lomb
The Bausch + Lomb toric range spans both monthly replacement options. ULTRA for Astigmatism features MoistureSeal technology — which retains 95% of lens moisture for 16 hours — combined with a toric design for astigmatism correction, making it an excellent choice for wearers with drier eyes or long wearing days. PureVision 2 for Astigmatism is a high-definition monthly silicone hydrogel toric lens with an AutoAlignDesign that self-orients on the eye for fast, accurate stabilisation.
CooperVision
CooperVision offers two distinct toric options. Biofinity Toric is one of the most widely prescribed monthly toric lenses in Australia, using Aquaform Comfort Science for natural, all-day moisture and the Optimised Toric Lens Geometry for exceptional rotational stability. Available in a 3-pack. Biofinity Toric XR is a specialist extended range variant designed for patients with higher degrees of astigmatism — those whose cylinder power or axis falls outside the parameters of standard toric lenses. If you've previously been told your prescription can't be fitted in a contact lens, Biofinity Toric XR may be the solution. Available in a 6-pack. MyDay Toric brings CooperVision's MyDay silicone hydrogel material into a daily toric format with a consistent, simple fitting approach. Available in 30-pack and 90-pack options.
Daily or Monthly Toric Lenses — Which Is Right for You?
Both daily and monthly toric lenses deliver accurate astigmatism correction; the choice comes down to your lifestyle, wearing frequency, and prescription requirements.
Daily toric lenses offer maximum convenience and hygiene — a fresh lens each morning with no cleaning or storage routine. They're particularly well suited to wearers who don't wear lenses every day, those with sensitive eyes or a history of deposits, and anyone who wants the simplest possible routine. The 90-pack options across most daily toric brands provide excellent value for everyday wearers.
Monthly toric lenses require daily cleaning and storage but are generally more economical for full-time wearers. Biofinity Toric and ULTRA for Astigmatism are among the most clinically proven and widely worn monthly toric lenses in Australia.
It's worth noting that toric lenses involve more variables than spherical lenses — stabilisation design, axis alignment, and cylinder range all vary by brand. Your optometrist's fitting recommendation matters here. Our partner optometrist Peter Merrett, with over 25 years of experience, is available during business hours to answer questions about toric lens options and help you understand your prescription.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need toric contact lenses?
Check your contact lens prescription. If it includes a cylinder (CYL) value and an axis value alongside the sphere (SPH), you have astigmatism and require toric lenses. Standard spherical lenses will not correct your astigmatism and may produce blurred or distorted vision. Your optometrist can confirm this and conduct a toric fitting appointment to identify the right lens for your prescription.
Are toric lenses harder to fit than regular lenses?
Yes — toric lenses require a more detailed fitting than spherical lenses because rotational stability and axis alignment need to be verified. Most optometrists will trial several lenses and ask you to wear them for a period before finalising the prescription. It's important to have a toric-specific fitting and prescription before ordering.
What does Biofinity Toric XR mean?
XR stands for extended range. Biofinity Toric XR is designed for patients whose cylinder power or axis falls outside the parameters of standard toric lenses. If you have a higher degree of astigmatism that standard toric lenses can't accommodate, Biofinity Toric XR may be able to correct your vision where other options have failed. Your optometrist can advise whether your prescription falls within the XR range.
Can I claim toric contact lenses on private health insurance?
Yes, if your extras policy includes optical benefits. We're registered with all major Australian health funds and provide all documentation needed with every order, including item numbers and claiming instructions. See our health fund rebates page for full details.
How quickly will my toric lenses arrive?
Orders placed before 10am Monday to Friday are dispatched the same day via StarTrack Courier Service. Metro customers in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Canberra typically receive their order the next business day. Regional delivery is generally 2–7 business days depending on location.
