Spherical contact lenses are standard, traditional contact lenses designed to correct nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia). Because the lens is completely symmetrical, it does not matter if it rotates on your eye when you blink. The visual clarity remains exactly the same at any angle.
Toric contact lenses are specialized lenses designed to correct astigmatism. Toric lenses feature stabilizing mechanisms—such as weighted bottoms or thin-and-thick zones—to prevent the lens from rotating when you blink, ensuring your vision stays consistently clear.
Multifocal contact lenses are specialized lenses designed for people with presbyopia—the age-related loss of near vision that typically begins after age 40. They contain multiple prescription powers within a single lens, allowing you to see clearly at all distances (near, intermediate, and far) without having to switch to reading glasses or bifocals.
A soft contact lens is a flexible, highly breathable lens made of water-loving hydrogel or silicone hydrogel plastics. Unlike rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses, soft contacts instantly conform to the unique shape of your eye, making them the most popular type of contact lens in the world.
Transition lenses (commercially known as photochromic or light-adaptive lenses) are eyeglass lenses that automatically darken when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light and fade back to clear when indoors. They eliminate the need to switch between regular prescription glasses and a separate pair of sunglasses.
