How to select parameters?
Power (PWR/SPH)
Power or sphere refers to the refractive power of the contact lens. Look for a plus (+) or minus (-) sign. Note that an equals sign (=) may be used in place of a minus sign.
- dioptres are for problems with near vision (far-sightedness)
+ dioptres are for problems with distance vision (near-sightedness)
Curvature (BC)
The base curve describes the curvature of the contact lens surface, i.e. how well the lens fits the shape of your eye.
Diameter (DIA)
The diameter is the width of the contact lens (measured in millimeters). It is not recommended to select a new diameter size without first consulting your optician. Diameter impacts the fit, comfort and functionality of your lenses.
Cylinder (CYL)
The cylinder measurement is used for the correction of astigmatism. It is a negative value that corrects curvature of the cornea.
Cylinder Axis (AX)
The cylinder axis measurement is used for the correction of astigmatism. The value ranges from 0° - 180° and determines the exact position of corneal curvature.
Addition (ADD)
Addition is the difference between the dioptric value for distance vision and the dioptric value for near vision. It indicates the magnifying power in multifocal lenses.

To date I have not been able to find a suitable Toric lens that sits in the correct place. They all seem to cause worse vision rather than better. Is there any reason this lens should sit better? I'm not sure my optometrist will trial a monthly lens so it's an expensive test!

ReplyHello Veronica,
I agree, it's a tricky situation, but the only solution can be found with
trial and error using samples…and only your optician can help you
with that.
The fit of the lens depends mostly on the Base Curve and the Diameter, see if
you can find a monthly lens that corresponds to the lenses you can normally wear
without problems.
Best regards,
Fabrizio
