Complex Contact Lens Fitting in Perth
Hi, I’m Stephanie.
I work with patients from all walks of life, and one thing I hear again and again is how much of a difference the right contact lenses can make to everyday living. Life is busy, people are juggling work, family, study, and everything in between, and clear, comfortable vision throughout all of it matters more than most people realise.|
Contact lenses offer a level of flexibility that can genuinely complement a modern lifestyle, and thanks to the latest advances in lens technology, they are more comfortable, accessible, and better suited to a wider range of eyes than ever before. Options that simply weren’t available a few years ago are now making it possible for people who previously couldn’t wear contacts, or didn’t think they could, to experience that freedom for themselves.
I’m passionate about helping more individuals and families in the Perth area discover what’s now possible. If you’ve been curious about contact lenses, or have tried them before without success, I’d love the opportunity to show you how much has changed.
Tried Contact Lenses Before… But They Didn’t Work?
Many people with astigmatism are told contact lenses “might not work well” for them, or they try them and experience:
Blurry or fluctuating vision
Lenses that rotate or feel unstable
Discomfort after a few hours
In many cases, this isn’t because contact lenses don’t work.
It’s because they weren’t fitted precisely enough.
Contact Lenses Designed for Astigmatism
Modern toric lenses have come a long way. Today’s designs are engineered to maintain their position on the eye, delivering clear and consistent vision throughout the day, not just in the chair during your appointment.
For many patients who have tried contact lenses before and struggled, the issue often comes down to fit rather than suitability. With the right lens and a thorough fitting process, the majority of people with astigmatism can wear contacts successfully and comfortably.
At E Eye Place, we focus on what actually matters:
- Lens stability and orientation: ensuring your lens sits where it needs to, every time
- All-day comfort: because a lens that feels great in the morning should still feel great by evening
- Consistently clear vision: not just at moments, but throughout everything your day involves
We offer a wide range of toric contact lenses designed to correct astigmatism, featuring advanced stability technology for clear, consistent vision. Top brands include monthly Biofinity Toric/XR, daily disposable MyDay Toric, and Clariti 1 Day. These lenses are known for comfort, breathability, and stable fit.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
About Contact Lenses for Astigmatism
Can I wear contact lenses if I have astigmatism?
In most cases, absolutely. Astigmatism is one of the most common reasons people assume contact lenses aren’t an option for them — and it’s a misconception I love clearing up. With today’s specialised toric lens designs, the majority of people with astigmatism can achieve stable, comfortable vision that performs consistently throughout the day.
Why were my previous contact lenses blurry or unstable?
This is such an important question, and one I hear from patients who’ve had a frustrating experience in the past. More often than not, the issue comes down to lens fit and stability rather than your astigmatism itself. When a toric lens rotates on the eye, even slightly, it can cause vision to fluctuate or feel inconsistent. A more precise, patient fitting process, one that takes the time to find the right lens and verify how it sits on your eye, can make an enormous difference. A bad experience with contacts in the past doesn’t mean contacts aren’t right for you.
Are contact lenses for astigmatism comfortable?
They absolutely can be. Modern toric lenses are designed with both optical precision and comfort in mind, and when fitted correctly, they should feel as natural as any other soft lens. If comfort has been an issue for you before, it’s worth exploring whether the right lens type and fit were ever properly assessed.
Do toric lenses for astigmatism cost more?
There can be a small difference in cost compared to standard lenses, which reflects the more sophisticated design involved in correcting astigmatism. That said, most patients find the improvement in clarity, stability, and comfort makes it very worthwhile. We’ll always be upfront about costs and help you find an option that suits both your eyes and your budget.
Can I try them before deciding?
Yes! During your fitting at E Eye Place, you’ll have the opportunity to wear the lenses and experience how they feel and perform for yourself. Seeing and feeling the difference firsthand is always the best way to know whether they’re right for you.
