Background: Differences in ocular parameters between Chinese and Caucasian eyes, may lead to differences in the success rate of soft contact lens fittings. As most disposable or frequent replacement lenses are manufactured based on data of Caucasian eyes, the aim of this study was to investigate the clinical performance and factors affecting die preliminary fitting of a ‘one‐fit’ bi‐weekly replacement soft toric lens on Hong Kong (HK)‐Chinese.Method: Forty‐one HK‐Chinese were fitted with Acuvue soft toric lenses (on one eye only). The success rate, die comfort, vision and die effects of central corneal curvature, horizontal visible iris diameter (HVID) and palpebral aperture size (PAS) on the physical fit of die toric lenses were determined.Results: Twenty‐four of 41 eyes (58.6 per cent) attained acceptable fit and satisfactory vision with these lenses. The main reason for unsuccessful lens fit was loose fitting. Only central corneal curvatures were significandy correlated (statistically) to the looseness of the lens.Discussion: The results showed diat about 40 per cent of our subjects were unable to obtain acceptable fit with this one‐fit frequent replacement lens, the main reason for which was loose fit. This was expected due to the steeper corneas of the Chinese eyes and we would expect similar results widi odier one‐fit soft lenses. Only die central corneal radii were significandy correlated widi die looseness of the lens fit. However, this factor was not die main factor affecting die contact lens fitting. HVID and PAS did not appear to play any significant role in die physical fit of diis lens. As tiiere are individual variations of lens fitting behaviour, trial lens fitting assessment is die most suitable way to select the appropriate lens.
