This study compared the rotational behavior of two commercially available soft toric contact lenses with different stabilization designs and explored whether ocular biometric and refractive characteristics were associated with lens rotation. Contact lens-naïve adults underwent baseline ocular biometry and were scheduled for two separate lens-fitting sessions in randomized order. Lens rotation was measured 30 minutes after insertion in primary, right, left, upward, and downward gaze using slit-lamp biomicroscopy. The study was designed as a two-period crossover comparison.

Overall Mean Absolute Contact Lens Rotation
Absolute lens rotation was measured in degrees using slit-lamp biomicroscopy in five gaze positions (primary, right, left, upward, and downward gaze). For each lens design, the overall mean absolute rotation was calculated as the average of the absolute rotation measurements across the five gaze positions.
Time frame: 30 minutes after lens insertion during each fitting session
