5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  Switching from spectacles to spherical-equivalent soft contact lenses may alter binocular vision measures in patients with low myopic astigmatism.

• 2

  The study involved 36 patients aged 15 to 35 years, all with specific ranges of myopia and astigmatism.

• 3

  Changes in accommodative lag, near point of convergence, and positive relative accommodation were statistically significant but modest.

• 4

  Most binocular vision measures did not show statistically significant changes between spectacles and contact lenses.

• 5

  The study suggests further research is needed to compare toric and spherical soft contact lenses regarding residual astigmatism.
