You just see if it's helpful or not, compared to the sphere. It's actually sort-of genius.
We tried the lenses because these 2 patients wanted an occasional wear option. Our rep told the ODs that the lenses would work for any axis + or - 30 degrees from 90 or 180. To me, that's a really huge range for one lens, but hey we figured we'd try it anyway. Both patients complained that the lenses were very uncomfortable and their vision wasn't stable.

The Focus Progressives are clearly inferior to the B&L SLMF.
Agreed :)

Ultimately, the cost and lesser vision options in daily disposable, and the unavailability of a silicone toric/MF is what has delayed my prophetic vision of full-time silicone FW use and part-time HEMA daily disposable use. It's just sci-fi right now.
I do find that scenario very fascinating. If we had the proper vision options in both modalities, it could really simplify the fitting process and offer the healthiest option to patients. Wait a few more years, and then we'll see how close you got to the mark. :idea:
