Why are the ACUVUE® TORIC orientation marks at 3 and 9 oclock?
The dual thin-zone design of ACUVUE® TORIC provides the highest oxygen transmissibility of any soft toric contact lens. For your patients, this means healthier corneal physiology. Since the thin zones are in the vertical meridian, the thicker portions in the horizontal meridian lend themselves to carrying the scribe marks. This also provides the practitioner with the ability to observe orientation and lens stability without manipulation of the eyelids.
