Abstract

Purpose: To emphasize the necessity of post-fitting by follow-up test, the mis-alignment was analyzed after initial wearing of toric soft contact lenses (TSCL).
Methods: After trial contact lenses were worn to 87 eyes with myopic astigmatism for 1 week, we observed the alignment of axis mark on trial contact lenses using slit lamp and corrected the rotated axis by method of LARS. After final fitting, rotation ratio, rotation degree and rotation position were analyzed compared to initial prescription divided to amount of cylinderical and spherical powers.
Results: Rotation ratio of TSCL’s axis was increased as increment of both cylinderical powers and (-)spherical powers. An average of rotation degree was 10o~13o which was not related to amount of their powers. Rotation position of TSCL’s axis was more to temporal than to nasal.
Conclusions: Because mis-alignment of axis after TSCL wearing induce the poor sight, adjustment of axial alignment as a result of follow-up must be performed.
