Fitting information

Patient selection
Recommended for patients seeking healthy lens wear for all day use, with the flexibility of occasional overnight wear.
Lens selection
The 8.60 mm can successfully fit patients with Ks between 7.10 mm and 8.50 mm. Assessing the fit 0.10-0.50 mm movement with blink. Complete corneal coverage, with no edge lift (do push-up test).
Power selection
The advanced aspheric design may reveal ±0.25D change or more difference in overrefraction from previous prescription.
Follow-up procedure
Patients may return after 1 month of lens wear, based on fitter preference for daily wear, to reassess lens fit and performance. Patients may also return after 1 night wear, based on fitter preference, for flexible wear after successfully completing daily wear adaption period.
