Astigmatism
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the prescription determined for a new daily disposable toric contact lens will be a good match to a prescription determined for an existing brand of lens.
Interventions
Investigational toric contact lens made of etafilcon A material with a new wetting agent.
Marketed toric contact lens made of etafilcon A material.

Exclusion criteria
1. Ocular or systemic allergies or disease that may interfere with contact lens wear. 2. Systemic disease or autoimmune disease or use of medication, which may interfere with contact lens wear. 3. Clinically significant corneal edema, corneal vascularization, corneal staining or any other abnormality of the cornea, which may contraindicate contact lens wear. 4. Clinically significant tarsal abnormalities that might interfere with contact lens wear. 5. Any ocular infection. 6. Any corneal distortion resulting from previous hard or rigid gas permeable contact lens wear. 7. Pregnancy or lactation 8. Any infectious disease (e.g., hepatitis, tuberculosis) or an immunosuppressive disease (e.g., HIV). 9. Diabetes 10. Strabismus -
