    Acuvue advanced for astigmatism. Two reasons why I like this lens from personal experience. 1. It doesn't dry my eyes out. 2. It doesn't rotate off axis so I don't get that 'off and on' vision.

    Vertex Toric...

    It is very comfortable because it is really thin, and it's inexpensive.:D

    1. Proclear Toric...thin and comfortable,quite stable

    2. PureVision Toric...my docs prefer to fit silicone lenses, but this lens is a bit cost prohibitive for some patients

    I agree with eye see acuvue adv. ast fits very well and I haven't had any complains yet.
    Clients seem to love it.

    I have extensive clinical experience with the Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism, and it performs every bit as well, visually, as the previous market leader, SL66T, but it has the distinct advantage of higher transmissibility and some reduction in evaporation, apparently.

    This lens is the best there's ever been.

    Looking forward to trying the Purevision T when it reaches my office this month. Has the potential for even less evaporation/better wetting.
