What are the benefits of a disposable toric soft lens?
The benefits of disposability are similar for spherical or toric patients. More frequent replacement of soft lenses has been demonstrated clinically to reduce the incidence of Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis (GPC). In addition, more frequent replacement has also been shown to improve patient comfort and performance due to cleaner, more wettable surfaces. An additional consideration with torics, which unlike sphericals do not rotate in the eye, is that certain areas of the lens build up deposits more quickly than others. An uneven build up of deposits may impact on the rotational stability of the lens.
