Focus Monthly Toric contact lenses are manufactured to be worn by patients suffering from astigmatism and are designed to be worn as daily wear lenses for up to a month and discarded. Focus Monthly Toric disposable lenses are made by CIBA Vision and greatly reduce the amount of deposits that can bind themselves to contact lenses and irritate your vision because they are replaced with fresh lenses on a regular basis. Focus Monthly Toric lenses are made with a light blue tint to help you locate your lenses in the solution.
