CooperVision is expanding its MyDay toric lens parameters, increasing its current range by nearly 70% to 4,392 prescription options.
MyDay toric now matches the industry-leading range of Biofinity toric to enable optometrists to fit the vast majority of their astigmatic patients with a silicone hydrogel one-day lens, said Joe Tanner, professional services manager at CooperVision. “For years, Biofinity toric has set the standard for toric contact lenses, and optometrists have found tremendous utility from its comprehensive parameter range. This same range is now available with MyDay toric, ending the need for practitioners to prescribe a monthly lens when a daily disposable may be preferred.”
MyDay toric will be available in sphere powers +8.00 to -10.00DS (in 0.25D steps to +/-6.00DS; 0.50D steps after +/-6.00DS), cylinder powers -0.75, -1.25, -1.75 and -2.25 DC, and axes 10° to 180° (in 10° steps).
To help streamline the fitting process and minimise chair time, CooperVision’s fitting app, OptiExpert, includes a calculator to determine the recommended diagnostic lenses. The OptiExpert is also available as a desktop version.
