Conditions
Brief summary
The objective of the study is to compare the clinical performance of two different daily disposable, SiHy toric contact lens types, Lens A and Lens B, in existing soft lens wearers when worn for one week each.
Detailed description
This study is a prospective, bilateral eye, double-masked, randomized, 1-week cross-over, daily-wear design involving two different daily disposable toric lens types. Each lens type will be worn for approximately one week, during which participants record their subjective lens-wear experience.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Is at least 18 years of age and has full legal capacity to volunteer; * Has read and signed an information consent letter; * Self reports having a full eye examination in the previous two years; * Anticipates being able to wear the study lenses for at least 12 hours a day, 7 days a week; * Is willing and able to follow instructions and maintain the appointment schedule; * Habitually wears toric soft contact lenses binocularly, of any replacement frequency, for the past 3 months minimum; * Has refractive astigmatism at least -0.75DC in each eye, maximum -2.25DC; * Has refractive cylinder axis either between 155 to 25 or between 65 and 115 degrees; * Is myopic and requires a spectacle spherical component of -1.00D to -6.50D inclusively; * Can be fit and achieve binocular distance vision of at least 20/30 Snellen with the available lens parameters
Exclusion criteria
