Medical Forum / General / Vision / April 2006Purevision Toric feedback
Just was wondering about the B&L Purevision Toric lens and how this has performed for people. I'm currently using the Biomedics Toric and prior to that had used the B&L 66. The Biomedics comfort and VA are better for me than the 66 but still not as comfortable as I'd like and the VA falls too far short of my glasses. Still, after trying dozens of lenses, these are the clear winners for me right now...but I'd like to give the Purevision a shot if it has been a good lens. My script in the BM is: OD:-2.5 cyl 100 -1.25 and OS: -2.00 cyl 80 -1.25 (or very close...it's been a while since I checked.). Thanks for any info PV Toric is the same design as the Soflens 66 Toric. Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism is also worth a try, as it is a completely different design than the other two.

For some people, the more rigid silicone material may provide better overall acuity. The PV toric, in my one month of dispensing them, has proven to be an excellent, reliable lens providing excellent acuity and comfort. Certainly worth a try! LB, O.D. I was wondering whether this lens has changed or improved from the original 66 toric. I keep hoping for that panacea where I find a lens that is comfortable and has good acuity (for me). Interestingly, some of the worst lenses I tried were the expensive custom fit lenses. It wasn't until I used the B&L66 toric and them BioMedics toric that I actually forgot that I had contacts in once in a while. I'm always up for another try. the diameter of the Purevision Toric lens is 14.0 mm versus 14.5 for the SofLens 66 Toric. |
