The article presents information on a study to determine whether wearing spherical lenses with small amounts of uncorrected astigmatism can be beneficial as compared to being fitted with a silicone hydrogel toric lens design. The study found that correcting low amounts of astigmatism can improve contact lens patients' clinical outcomes.

The article discusses the use of soft toric contact lenses in correcting astigmatism. It compares the advantages of using various types of contact lenses in correcting refractive astigmatism, which include rigid gas-permeable lenses, thick soft lenses, aspheric hydrogel lenses and soft toric lenses. It describes the various designs of soft toric contact lenses, as well as the technique for fitting soft toric lenses.
