Description:
Today’s modern designs, advanced manufacturing and affordable prices make most toric soft lenses relatively simple to fit and easy for patients to wear. So, why is it still common to mask cylinder with spherical soft lenses? When many current practitioners were in optometry school, toric offerings were technically inferior. As a result, many practitioners believe that specialty lenses are often more trouble than they are worth. Much work has been done assessing practitioner and patient perceptions regarding modern toric lens designs and wear experiences.
This discussion will investigate the following 5 most common myths and debunk them one by one:
- Myth #1: Vision Not Significantly Different than Spherical Correction
- Myth #2: Unstable Torics Yield Variable Vision
- Myth #3: Torics Not As Comfortable As Spheres
- Myth #4: Torics Require Increased Chair Time
- Myth #5: Patient Cost is a Barrier
