"It used to be when you had an astigmatism, you weren't able to wear colored contact lenses or they used to be so inordinately expensive that you didn't want to wear them because they weren't affordable. Now you have a few different options through the FreshLook brand of contact lens for your toric lenses. They are only available in four color, blend colors. We have the ColorBlends blue that's available for a FreshLook toric wear. We have, I'll skip brown, they don't offer that one, it's too basic. We have gray that's available for a FreshLook toric wearers, green and honey. As you probably already know, the FreshLook toric lenses are weighted contact lenses so they sit at a certain point for your astigmatism correction. You're still able to wear the colors, though they're a little bit more limited selection then somebody who doesn't have astigmatism but if you're interested in the colors, it's worth perusing and checking out."
