Daily Disposable Contact Lenses for Astigmatism
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to assess how people with astigmatism feel about wearing daily disposable contact lenses for extended periods. The focus is on comfort and vision clarity during long wear. Prospective participants should currently wear soft toric contact lenses for long periods, have good vision with them, and have had a full eye exam in the last two years. As an unphased trial, this study offers a unique opportunity to contribute to understanding comfort and vision clarity in contact lens wearers.
Do I need to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial requires that you are not currently using isotretinoin-derivatives or any ocular medications. If you are using these, you would need to stop before participating.
What prior data suggests that these contact lenses are safe for people with astigmatism?
Research shows that daily disposable contact lenses for astigmatism are generally safe and comfortable. Studies on lenses like OASYS MAX 1-Day for Astigmatism have found they offer clear vision and comfort, crucial for those who have struggled with other lenses. Another study found that Dailies Total1 for Astigmatism lenses were comfortable and provided good vision, leading to high user satisfaction. These lenses are suitable for all-day wear, important for daily users. Overall, evidence supports that daily disposable lenses are safe and comfortable for people with astigmatism.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about these daily disposable contact lenses for astigmatism because they offer a fresh approach to vision correction by providing a new lens every day. Unlike traditional reusable lenses that require cleaning and care, these lenses reduce the risk of irritation and infection, making them a healthier option for the eyes. Additionally, the convenience of not needing cleaning solutions makes them ideal for busy individuals looking for a hassle-free solution to astigmatism.
What evidence suggests that daily disposable contact lenses are effective for astigmatism?
Research has shown that daily disposable contact lenses for astigmatism can be highly effective. Studies have found that users generally report high satisfaction, with many experiencing improved comfort and clearer vision. For instance, one study reported that 87% of participants were happy with the lenses after trying them for 5 days, often wearing them for more than 10 hours each day. Another study noted that these lenses provide clearer vision and more comfort compared to other types. Overall, these lenses seem to be a good choice for people with astigmatism seeking a daily disposable option.23678
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for people who already wear soft toric contact lenses to correct astigmatism and can see well with them (20/25 vision or better). Participants should be used to wearing their lenses for long hours, willing to stick to a specific lens-wearing schedule, and must have had a full eye exam in the last two years.Inclusion Criteria
