New extended wear lenses for astigmatism

For those patients with astigmatism, Ciba have just released their O2 Optix extended wear silicon contact lens for those with astigmatism.

I’ve tried this lens myself and find it quite comfortable. The vision is good too.

Johnson and Johnson have also just released their Acuvue Oasys lens for those with astigmatism. Like the O2 Optix, it is an extended wear silicon contact lens.
