  Yes, it could. The toric contact lens has two different lenses thus it could correct both astigmatism and nearsightedness or farsightedness. That is to say, it's a kind of corrective contact lens with soft or rigid gas permeable material as other regular contact lenses. However, the toric contact lenses have to keep the same orientation of eye movement to keep visual acuity. If you have astigmatism and one of the distance eye vision problems, you had better choose it. Otherwise, it's not safe and useful this kind of contact lens.
