No more compromises

The last several years have been very significant for the development of new contact lens materials and designs for spherical patients. Yet today’s astigmatic patients are still not getting what they need from their toric contact lenses.

· Many patients are still wearing toric lenses with a Dk/t of around 16 1
· The astigmatic patient dropout rate is 2x that of spherical patients 1
· Dryness, discomfort, tired eyes, red eyes, and fluctuating vision are still cited as problems
