The 5 Myths of Masking Astigmatism:

• Myth #1 - Visual acuity with low cylinder toric lenses is not significantly better than with single vision spherical lens correction
• Myth #2 - The risk of variable vision with toric lenses is too much of a trade-off relative to the assurance of stable spherical vision
• Myth #3 Toric Lenses aren't as comfortable as spherical lenses
• Myth #4 - Significantly more chair time is required to fit toric lenses
• Myth #5 The higher cost to patients of toric lenses is a barrier relative to spherical lenses
