Select Initial
Trial CONTACT Lens
Upon completion of the refraction, use the Spectacle to Contact Lens Power Grid chart
(see reverse) to select your initial trial lens power.
Lens Axis:
Select the axis for AIR OPTIX for ASTIGMATISM soft contact lenses closest to
the spectacle axis. These contact lenses come in axes from around the clock in
10 degree steps.
Allow for the contact lens to settle on the eye (app. 5 to 10 minutes).

a) Assess centration: A well-fitted contact lens will have full corneal coverage with good
centration in primary, up and side gaze.
b) Assess contact lens movement: A well-fitted contact lens will show sufficient movement
to allow tear exchange under the lens during blink in primary or up gaze.
c) Assess push-up test: Use the lower lid border to push the contact lens upwards.
A well-fitted contact lens is easy to displace, and returns smoothly to the centered
position when released.
AIR OPTIX for ASTIGMATISM contact lenses achieve rotational stability on eye in just
30 seconds1.

4. For trial contact lens axis select the AIR OPTIX for ASTIGMATISM
axis closest to the refractive or spectacle prescription axis (AIR OPTIX
for ASTIGMATISM comes in every 10 steps from 0/180 to 170).
5. When ordering the final lens, account for any spherical over refraction,
compensation and contact lens rotation as appropriate.
3. Then find the AIR OPTIX for ASTIGMATISM trial contact lens power at
the intersection of this column and the spectacle sphere power row.
