With the continually evolving selection of toric soft contact lenses available today, choosing the right one can be a daunting task. This webinar aims to delve into the key design features that set different soft toric contact lenses apart. We will also discuss effective strategies for fitting these lenses and modifying them according to the individual prescription of each patient. By integrating this knowledge with a comprehensive assessment of a patient’s visual requirements, practitioners will significantly enhance their chances of achieving successful fittings for astigmatic patients on their first attempt.
