Medical Forum / General / Vision / September 2005Toric contacts available over -6.00?
Does someone have a list of toric soft contacts lenses which are available over -6.00? I'll most likely need a -6.25 or -6.50. I'd like to know the choices I have available to me before I go in to my next appointment. Are any of the new silicone hydrogel lenses available as torics and over -6.00? Thanks for any replies! > Does someone have a list of toric soft contacts lenses which are available > over -6.00? I'll most likely need a -6.25 or -6.50.

(They make up to -2.25 CYL, I believe). If I'm not mistaken, both Focus and SofLens66 have torics over -6.00. No idea about the silicone hydrogels, though, since they're not available where I am. > Does someone have a list of toric soft contacts lenses which are available > over -6.00?

In silicone hydrogel, there are currently two possible in toric with others in a few months, depending where upon Planet Earth you exist. It serves no purpose to list them all here; simply ask your contact lens practitioner what is available to you at that office and if he/she has access to everything in your prescription. I'm an advocate for high DK lenses like silicone hydrogel but most important is one that fits correctly and provides optimum vision. Consider rigid GP lenses, too. LB, O.D. I wonder if timstorm meant -6.00 sphere or cylinder power? If cyl, so far the answers are wrong... w.stacy, o.d. > > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >LB, O.D. >
