The Effect of the Changes in Cylinder Power and Axis of Toric Soft Contact Lenses on the Visual Quality, Satisfaction and Vision Acceptability in Astigmatic Subjects

Summary

Toric SCL combined spheric lens power with cylinder power and axis. However, in Indonesia, the availability of cylinder power and axis parameter variations between products are still narrow, with stock-keeping units (SKUs) options only between 0.75-2.75 DC and 10o-180o for power and axis, respectively. Providing accurate toric SCL prescription for astigmatism patient in Indonesia remains a challenge for ophthalmologists and generally could not be achieved. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of power undercorrection and axis misalignment on visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, visual clarity, visual satisfaction, and vision acceptability.

The inclusion criteria for the trial, include: (1) 20 to 40 years of age without the need for presbyopic correction, (2) mild to moderate myopia patients, sphere between -1.00 and - 6.00 D combined with cylinder between -0.75 to -3.00 DC in at least one eye, (3) corrected distance visual acuity (VA) of with Toric SCL 6/15 or better bilaterally. Exclusion criteria include: (1) a history of contact lens use 6 months prior to trial, (2) history of previous ocular surgery, (3) anterior and posterior segment abnormalities, (4) manifest strabismus or dry eye, and (5) ocular and systemic diseases that would preclude CL wear or decrease visual acuity; and pregnancy or lactation.

Interventions

DEVICE

Hydrogel conventional toric lenses with -10° axis misalignment

The assessment visits interval is 1 week and completed exactly on day 14 after their first baseline visit. At each assessment visit, three different cylinder power were tested: 1) full cylinder power, 2) under-correction of cylinder power by 0.5 D, and 3) under-correction of cylinder power by 1.0 DC. Axis was also misaligned by -10° and +10° for each cylinder power alteration. The powers and axis assigned to the participants were randomized during every assessment visit. Baseline assessments and treatment allocations were masked to both patients and physician. All assessments were carried out on the day of observation and recorded on the subject evaluation sheet in accordance with the sample data, in which examinations results.
