Toric contact lenses are made of the same soft or rigid materials as regular contact lenses. The lens in toric contact lenses differ, however, by offering two curvatures at different angels to compensate for astigmatism and for either nearsightedness or farsightedness. Toric contact lenses are al...
Contact lenses for astigmatism are specially designed to correct the visual effects ofastigmatism— a commonrefractive errorcaused by a misshapencornea. In today’s modern contact lens market, people with astigmatism have more options than ever. Contact-wearers often use one of three types of lenses...
as well as in both conventional hydrogel and silicone hydrogel materials. As noted in Part 4, the rationale for the planned replacement ofsoft contact lensesis based on the tenet that cleaner lenses should produce fewer adverse
Conclusions Marked differences in CL-SAG values were found in this study, also between lenses of the same BC. While ECPs should be aware that diameter and BC together influence CL-SAG, this also indicates that lens substitution based on BC alone could result in substantial differences in CL-...
A 15-year-old female presents for a contact lens evaluation and fit. She has noticed her vision fluctuating while playing tennis on her high school team. In addition, she feels her overall vision is sharper in her glasses than with contact lenses. The mother is concerned, as the patient wi...
Liketoric soft contact lenses, toric IOLs can correct astigmatism because they have different powers in different meridians of the lens. They also have alignment markings on the peripheral part of the lens that enable the surgeon to adjust the orientation of the IOL inside the eye for optimal as...
Blink-induced lens movement causes a reduction in visual performance that is potentially greater with toric than with spherical soft contact lenses because of the combination of vertical lens movement and rotation. This study examined the effect of the two most common methods of toric lens stabilizati...

In all the foregoing the observation of an object point at infinity was contemplated. Now when the eye is capable of accommodation such toric lenses can also be used for reading. In this case they have different aberrations which are sometimes not sufficiently corrected by the distortion correspond...
