Freshlook Toric and Fresklook Colorblend Toric* are 2 lenses that will have a choice of colors tat are made for astigmatic eyes. The colors are:

Honey
Gray
Green
Blue

* the colorblend will have a dark ring around he outside of the lens that fades to the lens color towards the pupil giving it a much more natural look.

You should try Durasoft 3 Colors Optifit Torics and Durasoft 3 Optifit Colorblends which are the non-disposable versions of Freshlook contacts, which come in very high prescriptions of far-nearsightedness and astigmatism. They're very expensive but worth!

Thanks for the advice.

I will ask my eye doc to see if Durasoft 3 Colors Optifit is right for me.

I was thinking of asking about the FreshLook ColorBlends Toric. My friend sometimes wears the FreshLook ColorBlends (non Toric one) and they look nice on her, very natural. Anyone know if the Toric version colors are as nice as the regular FreshLook ColorBlends?

hi!

yes they toric freshlooks are the same as the normal ones, but they only make them in low prescriptions (i think only up to -2.00 of astigmatism) and they dont cover all axis, but Durasoft 3 Colorblends Optifit Torics are the same lens, same pattern, made by the same company and cover all astigmatism amounts in all axes, the only difference is that this is a non-disposable lens, it's soft conventional (they last from 1 to 2 years with proper care).I always wear conventional lenses, they're better in my opinion.

I wear freshlook colorblend torics in blue. I have -2.75 in each eye and an axis of 170 and 180... yes I was looking at my boxes. Here is a pic of me with them in. I am half thai and my eyes are dark brown. I am going to try to get violet next (but freshlook torics do not come in that color)... so i will try another brand.

Thanks Blaze. I wish they were a little bit brighter though! I am going to see If my doctor at Lens Crafters (appointment sunday!) can get me Durasoft 3 Toric in violet (not colorblends)... I dont want a mix of color but moreso just a darker shade of purple/violet.
