title: Simplified fitting procedures for toric soft contact lenses.
abstract: This pilot study assessed a simplified procedure for fitting toric soft contact lenses without the use of a diagnostic fitting set. The sample consisted of 12 patients (21 eyes) who has astigmatic refractive effects of -0.75 D.C. to -2.50 D.C. and who ranged in age from 21-38 years. Patients were fit using a standard protocol. Using the criteria of success as defined in this paper, 17 of the 21 eyes were successfully fit with Hydromarc toric soft contact lenses.
