Should patients expect good comfort initially when a toric soft lens is applied?
A few patients may notice greater “awareness” when switching from one brand of toric lens to another. Similar to first time toric lens wearers changing from a spherical design, some patients changing from a prism ballast design to a thin-zone design may experience increased awareness (“old shoe/new shoe” analogy). The Eye Care Professional should assure the patient that they should feel completely comfortable with their contact lenses within forty-eight hours.
