Can't yet, much as I'd like. :-( I require torics, and for some reason the many dailies we tried wouldn't stay in their "up" orientation. My optometrist said that in a year or two, he thinks some of the newer dailies in the development pipeline might address my experience, and we'll try dailies again at that time. Has something to do with the weighting of the lenses, I gathered from overhearing his conversation with one of his assistants, but the sudden, unpredictable blurring after blinking being a safety hazard was all the explanation I needed at the time.


I use toric dailies and it's the blinking that aligns the orientation. Once the angle is correct after blinking, the lenses then don't seem to rotate further. (I use '1-day Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism')


Clarification: even sequential blinking did not realign the lenses we tried, for some odd reason. Dailies would be really awesome to be able to wear, because I only wear contacts for water sports and when dressing up, so I end up throwing out the 30-day lenses after only a handful of uses. Thanks for pointing me towards what you use, I'll ask my guy to try them on me if he hasn't already when I go in for my annual.


Did you try Biofinity toric lenses? That's what I've been using for several years after I started having that exact problem.


Thanks for the pointer, I'll ask my guy to try them on me at my next annual, if he hasn't tried that brand already.


Cooper Vision do some great dailies that are torics, I've been using them for years.


Another Cooper Vision recommendation, I'll really have to check them out, thanks!
