Nearly gone are the days of excuses: Daily disposables are more expensive (read my prior posts on how they are equal or cheaper), they are not available in silicone hydrogels (we have several silicone hydrogel spheres, including toric, and multifocal options), and the axes do not go around the clock (you are right, we may be lacking in some plus powers and some –2.25D cyl powers, but that accounts for only a fraction of our patients). I venture to guess that 95% of our non-specialty contact lens patients can be fit into a silicone hydrogel daily disposable lens and that 99% of our patients can be fit into daily disposables.
To our industry friends, you keep innovating and pushing our progress, and we will keep fitting.
