What is another word for astigmatic lens?
Pronunciation: [ɐstɪɡmˈatɪk lˈɛnz] (IPA) 
Astigmatic lens has a specific meaning in the field of optometry and ophthalmology. It refers to a type of lens that corrects astigmatism, which is a refractive error that causes blurry vision. But there are other words that can be used to describe astigmatic lenses, such as toric lenses, cylindrical lenses, or simply astigmatism-correcting lenses. Toric lenses are designed to have different refractive powers in different meridians to correct astigmatism. Cylindrical lenses have a curved surface that is shaped like a cylinder, and are often used to correct astigmatism in eyeglasses or contact lenses. Astigmatism-correcting lenses is a broader term that encompasses both toric and cylindrical lenses.
