Soft toric lenses are nearing a major milestone: the fiftieth anniversary of their FDA approval.3 Thanks to subsequent innovations in technology and design through the years, it’s no surprise that modern toric lens fits continue to climb and now represent about one-third of all soft lens prescriptions.4
Within the daily disposable silicone hydrogel (SiHy) category, toric fits are also rising, with reports estimating that toric daily disposables account for roughly 25% of the U.S. daily SiHy market.4 These statistics suggest a growing confidence in contemporary toric lenses and for a wide range of patients, including those with low levels of astigmatism.
CooperVision is a recognized industry leader
5 in today’s modern toric landscape, consistently setting the bar for innovative toric lens designs.
6 In fact, Biofinity
® toric is the #1 most-prescribed toric lens on the US market.
7 And with shared material technologies and design, eye care professionals can keep their patients in the #1 most prescribed
1 toric design on the US market with MyDay
® toric.
1 Nearly 9-out-of 10 patients who moved to MyDay® toric say that they love their lenses.2 Here are five other insights from patients who switched from Biofinity® toric to MyDay® toric:
A recent survey that polled patients about their lens-wearing experience after switching from Biofinity® toric to MyDay® toric found:
- 97% of wearers agree that switching from Biofinity® toric to MyDay® toric contact lenses was easy.2
- Additionally, 95% of wearers say they are happy that they switched to MyDay® toric contact lenses.8
- Further, nearly three-quarters of wearers wish they had switched to MyDay® toric contact lenses sooner.2
Same All-Day, Incredible Comfort9 in a Daily Disposable
Comfort is essential in contact lens wearing success, and conversely, represents a main reason why patients with astigmatism drop out of CL wear.10-12
To address comfort, CooperVision developed Aquaform® Technology, which is found in both Biofinity® toric and MyDay® toric. Aquaform® Technology is an innovative material science that provides a high level of oxygen permeability, a naturally wettable material, and optimum modulus for a comfortable and flexible lens.9When comparing their comfort experience:
- 92% of wearers agree that their MyDay® toric lenses provide them with the same or better comfort as their Biofinity® toric lenses.2
Mirrored Visual Clarity and Stability9 with Optimized Toric Lens Geometry™
One unique need for toric lenses is stability to ensure consistent visual performance.3 With this in mind, CooperVision® Optimized Toric Lens Geometry™, found in both Biofinity® toric and MyDay® toric, results in a multifaceted toric lens that provide predictable, consistent visual acuity, lens stability, fit and comfort for patients with astigmatism.9
When switching to MyDay® toric:
- 91% of patients agree that their overall vision in MyDay® toric lenses is the same or better than it was in Biofinity® toric lenses.2
Patients Value the Convenience of Daily Disposables
Daily disposable contact lenses provide numerous benefits for both the patient and the practice, including better compliance and ocular health.13-15 Rounding out the top three benefits of daily disposables is convenience, since patients value the convenience of not having to clean and disinfect their lenses after each use.14
After being refit in MyDay® toric:
- 95% of wearers agree that they love the convenience of a daily disposable contact lens.2
Prescribe with Confidence
Keeping patients satisfied in their overall contact lens wearing experience is vital to long-term wearing success.16
During their next exam, when transitioning your patients with astigmatism into a daily disposable toric, just consider:
- 89% of MyDay® toric wearers say they will request to stay in MyDay® toric.8
- Nearly two-thirds of MyDay® toric wearers wish their eye doctor recommended MyDay® contact lenses sooner.2
