New study aims to sharpen contact lens prescriptions for astigmatism
NCT ID NCT07557030
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a new, objective way to fit toric contact lenses (for astigmatism) gives the same results as the traditional subjective method. About 45 adults with astigmatism will have their lens prescription checked both ways. The goal is to see if the new method can make lens fitting faster and more accurate.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. They are at least 18 years of age. 2. They understand their rights as a research participant and are willing and able to sign a Statement of Informed Consent. 3. They have spherical refractive error at the corneal plane between +4.00 to -7.00DS 4. They have refractive astigmatism at the corneal plane of 0.75 to 2.25DC in one eye. 5. They are able to achieve distance HCHL visual acuity of +0.10 logMAR or better in each eye 6. They are a current soft contact lens wearer or have previous experience of successful soft contact lens wear in the past 3 years. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Is participating in any concurrent clinical or research trial. 2. They have an ocular disorder which would normally contra-indicate contact lens wear. 3. They have a systemic disorder which would normally contra-indicate contact lens wear. 4. They are pseudophakic or aphakic. 5. They have had corneal refractive surgery. 6. They have any corneal distortion resulting from previous hard or rigid lens wear or have keratoconus. 7. Is using any systemic or topical medications that in the opinion of the investigator may affect contact lens wear or a study outcome variable.
