Some eye care professionals consider astigmatic correction at -0.75D not worthwhile in contact lenses, but patients do notice – and prefer – the difference. Be sure to present ACUVUE® Brand TORIC lenses as an option to low astigmats.
Past
experience may tell you that toric lenses can be challenging to fit
properly, particularly the first time you work with a patient. Less
so with ACUVUE® Brand TORIC Contact Lenses. Among other innovations,
scribe marks at three o’clock and nine o’clock, separated
by 10-degree increments, make observing the amount of rotation and
the degree of orientation much easier to determine.
To learn more about ACUVUE® Brand TORIC, take
a few minutes to view our interactive professional briefing. You’ll hear
about our proprietary dual thin zone design, rotation and stability and much
more.
Rotation of higher cylinder powers compromises
visual acuity more than rotation of lower cylinder powers.
For example, a patient with a 0.75D cylinder power can tolerate
up to 20 degrees of rotation without vision being affected.
Dual thin zone lenses will often stabilize in patients who
have failed with prism-ballasted lenses.
