Question
Hi, I have had a very difficult time getting the right fit in my Toric lenses. I have worn torics for years, but am changing from Acuvue Advance to Oasys. The trial pair (3rd try) that had the perfect fit had the correct strength, with an axis of 10 and a cylinder of 75. The new lens I received didn't seem clear at all and I see they have an axis of 70 and a cylinder of 75. The doctor is out for for the next week, but his receptionist claims that is the prescription he wrote...can this possibly be correct???
Answer
Dear Jo Anna,
Torics are tricky and hence need to be fitted and dispensed by a good contact lens specialist.
Only the treating person can verify this for you.
If you are not seeing clearly and it is not temporary, then this has to do with either the prescription or the fit, both which ned to be checked by the doctor.
Hope this helps,
Best,
Dr Shroff
