Toric soft contact lens design affects lens stability and visual acuity, particularly during abnormal gaze movements, such as scanning a newspaper for information, gazing to the extreme side for changing lanes while driving, or playing sports, according to a new study. The research, which compared the effect of gaze direction and posture on toric lens orientation and visual acuity of contact lenses using either an Accelerated Stabilization Design or Prism Ballast Design, is published in the current issue of Contact Lens & Anterior Eye, the official journal of the British Contact Lens Association.
