Short-Term Fit Assessment of a Novel Daily Disposable, Toric, Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lens.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The development of new contact lens materials and designs are necessary to minimise patient dropout. A lens material with water surface technology was recently developed to incorporate toric design. The on-eye stability of a toric contact lens is critical to a successful toric lens fitting. In an effort to establish if the new daily disposable verofilcon A toric silicone hydrogel lens provides fast stability for ease of fit, this study assessed the initial and short-term on-eye stability of this new lens.

Patients and methods

Habitual full-time wearers of soft contact lenses, aged 18 or over, were enrolled and fit with the verofilcon A toric lens. Study endpoints included lens settling time, axis orientation at specific time-points within 10 minutes after insertion,
