Rotational Recovery in Your Patients Lives
Click on the video below to see how rotational recovery affects your patients' lives then view videos of examples of good and poor rotational recovery.
Video Background
Good rotational recovery - The toric lens was inserted on the eye and allowed to settle for 3 minutes. The video begins just as the eye doctor rotates the lens temporally by 45 degrees. Over the following 60 seconds the rotation recovery is monitored. This video shows a toric contact lens that has good rotational recovery. Initially, there is obvious re-orientation followed by a slower phase of re-orientation as the lens comes back to the original settling position.
Poor rotational recovery - The toric lens was inserted on the eye and allowed to settle for 3 minutes. The video begins just as the eye doctor rotates the lens temporally by 45 degrees. Over the following 60 seconds the rotation recovery is monitored. This video shows a toric contact lens that has poor rotational recovery. The lens creeps back towards it's original settling position but does not achieve good recovery within the 60 seconds of the test.
