ABSTRACT
1. Many ophthalmic technicians are familiar with fitting standard soft lenses that correct hyperopia and myopia. There is less confidence, however, in their proficiency with fitting soft toric lenses that correct astigmatism. 2. Performing accurate keratometry and refraction is an essential first step in fitting soft toric lenses. Familiarity with the different types of toric lenses is integral to an effective fit. 3. Knowledge of front and back surface toric lenses and their indications is of primary concern and allows for an effortless and successful fit.
