The aim is to evaluate patient and lens factors that influence the fit and orientation of toric soft contact lenses.
Clinical study with 45 subjects fitted with prism-stabilized toric soft lenses.
Assessment of patient and lens fit variables, including lid topography features using digital photography.
Measurement of lens orientation and stability in relation to various anatomical features.
Degree of myopia significantly influences lens orientation and stability.
Lid anatomy, specifically the incline of the temporal lids, corresponds to lens orientation.
Lens fit characteristics, such as postblink movement and lens tightness, affect lens stability.

Young et al. (2002) studied this question.
