Frequency Toric 55 XR

When you go to your eye doctor for an eye exam to see if you can wear contact lenses, you may find that you have astigmatism. Astigmatism may occur if you are farsighted or nearsighted. It is usually caused by an irregularly shaped cornea (corneal astigmatism) but sometimes it’s lenticular astigmatism, which results from an irregularly shaped lens, located behind the cornea of the eye. Astigmatism happens when the cornea is shaped kind of like a football than a baseball, which is the usual shape.

Either astigmatism can often be corrected with the use of eyeglasses, contact lenses or refractive surgery.

If you choose contact lenses to correct astigmatism, then you will need a type of lens called toric contact lenses. Toric contact lenses have a special correction built into them, like tiny weights which help the lenses line up in the eye correctly. They can also contain a prescription to correct nearsightedness or farsightedness if needed.

One brand of soft contact lens that’s a toric lens is Frequency 55 Toric by CooperVision. Frequency 55 Toric contact lenses pair astigmatism correction with the comfort and convenience that you get with frequent replacement. They are worn each day and cleaned nightly for a month at a time and then you throw them out. This gives you a fresh pair of contacts each month and that keeps them cleaner, which gives you healthier eyes.

The Frequency 55 Toric brand of contact lens is the fastest-growing monthly replacement soft toric lens available today. More and more people are switching to these lenses which are both comfortable and give you excellent vision.

Each box contains 6 contact lenses and each box with be either for your left of right eye’s prescription. When you replace your contacts monthly, you will take a new one from each box. The 6 lenses are immersed in 0.9% buffered saline solution to keep them moisturized. It’s easy to get into a schedule where you change to a fresh pair of contacts each month. This will really help keep your eyes healthy, so don’t use them longer than a month.

The full line of these contacts include:

• Frequency® 55 Aspheric
• Frequency® 55 Multifocal
• Frequency® 55 Toric Contacts
• Frequency® 55 Toric Contacts XR
• Frequency® 55 Sphere
• Frequency® 38 Sphere

To order contacts, you should have an updated, new prescription from your eye doctor or optometrist. There are many places online to find the best prices for these contact lenses. Prices do range quite a bit, so don’t just buy them from the first place you find them. You could save a lot of money by shopping around, which is one great thing about the Web.

And remember to use your Health Savings Account (HSA) to order your contacts if you have an HSA available to you. Doing this could add an additional savings of about 30% since you are not being taxed on that money. Using an HSA is easy because with most accounts, you get a debit card which deducts money from the money available in your account.
