Technological advances in the design and manufacture of soft toric contact lenses have made it possible for most astigmatic patients to achieve successful results with current soft lenses, but a small percentage of those patients are wearing them. We present the observations on 21 subjects that requested soft toric lenses in the past year. This lenses (TP 60) offered all the comfort of soft lenses and a good vision correction for astigmatism up to 6 diopters.

D014792	Visual Acuity	Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast.	Acuities, Visual,Acuity, Visual,Visual Acuities
