  5. Subject's vertex corrected refractive cylinder must be between -0.75 and -1.50 DC (inclusive) in each eye.

  6. Subject's refractive cylinder axis must be 180±25 and 90±15 in each eye. 7) The subject must have visual acuity best correctable to 20/25 or better for each eye 8) The subject must read and sign the Informed Consent form.

Exclusion Criteria

• 1. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, 2) Any ocular or systemic allergies or diseases that may contraindicate contact lens wear.

  2. Any ocular medications use within the last one month. 4) Any systemic disease, autoimmune disease, or use of medication, which may interfere with contact lens wear.

  3. Any infectious disease (e.g., hepatitis, tuberculosis) or a contagious immunosuppressive disease (e.g., HIV), by self-report.

  4. Habitual wearer of extended wear contact lenses. 7) Known sensitivity to Revitalens OcuTec® 8) Any previous history of ocular and/or refractive surgery (e.g., radial keratotomy, PRK, LASIK, etc.).

  5. A clinical finding or history of entropion, ectropion, extrusions, chalazia, recurrent styes, glaucoma, history of recurrent corneal erosions, aphakia, or moderate or above corneal distortion, by self-report.

  6. History of binocular vision abnormality or strabismus, by self-report. 11) Habitual wearer of rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses, orthokeratology lenses, or hybrid lenses (e.g. SynergEyes, SoftPerm) within the past 6 months.

  7. Employee of investigational clinic (e.g., Investigator, Coordinator, Technician).

  8. Participation in any contact lens or lens care product clinical trial within 14 days prior to study enrollment.

  9. Clinically significant (grade 3 or higher) corneal edema, corneal vascularization, corneal staining, tarsal abnormalities, bulbar injection or any other abnormalities which would contraindicate contact lens wear.

  10. Any history of a contact lens-related corneal inflammatory event within the past year that may contraindicate contact lens wear.

  11. Any active ocular infection. 17) Any corneal distortion resulting from previous hard or rigid gas permeable contact lens wear.

  12. Any fluctuations in vision due to clinically significant dry eye or other ocular conditions.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Control: Participating Subjects	Marketed Contact Lens	Subjects who are habitual soft toric contact lens wearers, aged 18 to 40 years of age, will be dispensed marketed contact lens to be worn from 28-36 days, to include a total of 5 visits.
Experimental: Participating Subjects	Investigational Contact Lens	Subjects who are habitual soft toric contact lens wearers, aged 18 to 40 years of age, will be dispensed the investigational contact lens to be worn from 28-36 days, to include a total of 5 visits.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Corneal Staining	Up to 4-Week Follow-up	Contact lens related corneal staining was assessed using slit lamp throughout the study. Corneal staining was graded using a 5-level scale: 0=no staining, 1=trace, 2=mild, 3=moderate and 4=severe. Corneal staining data collected during planned and unplanned visits were dichotomized whether the level of corneal stating was grade 3 or higher (unacceptable CS) or less than grade 3 (acceptable CS). The number of eyes with Grade 3 or higher was reported for each lens type.
Monocular Distance Visual Acuity (VA)	Up to 4-Week Follow-up	Monocular distance visual acuity was measured with the study lens using a Snellen distance VA chart at an optical distance of 20 feet throughout the study. Observed VA data collected during all planned visits were dichotomized whether VA was "20/40 or better (acceptable VA)" or "worse than 20/40 (unacceptable VA)". VA of 20/40 with a negative modifier was considered worse than 20/40. The number of eye with acceptable VA was reported for each study lens.
Lens Stability With Blink	15 Minutes Post Lens Fitting	Lens rotational stability with blink was assessed using slit lamp with beam that can be rotated. The stability of the scribe mark rotational position during a series of normal (unforced) blinks was assessed, and then dichotomized whether stability was less than or equal to 5-degree (acceptable stability) or greater (unacceptable stability). The number of eye with acceptable stability was reported for each lens.
Lens Fit Acceptance	15 Minutes Post Lens Fitting	Lens fit characteristics were assessed using slit lamp with respect to lens position, movement and tightness. Each lens fit collected at fitting (visit 1) was judged being either acceptable or unacceptable based on the static and dynamic fit characteristic. The number of eyes with acceptable lens fit was reported for each study lens.
Absolute Lens Rotation	15-minutes Post Lens Insertion	Lens rotation was assessed using slit lamp with beam that can be rotated. The rotational error (assume shortest distance) and direction (base toward the nose or temple) were calculated, and then absolute rotation was dichotomized whether absolute rotation was less than or equal to 10-degree (acceptable rotation) or greater (unacceptable rotation). The number of eyes with acceptable lens rotation for each lens was reported.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Overall Handling	Up to 4- Week Follow-up	Overall Handling was assessed using the Contact Lens User Experience™ (CLUE) questionnaire. CLUE is a validated patient-reported outcomes (PRO) questionnaire to assess patient-experience attributes of soft contact lenses (comfort, vision, handling, and packaging) in a contact-lens wearing population in the US, ages 18-65. Derived CLUE scores using Item Response Theory (IRT) follow a normal distribution with a population average score of 60 (SD 20), where higher scores indicate a more favorable/positive response with a range of 0-120.
Monocular Distance Visual Acuity (VA)	15 Minutes Post Lens Fitting	Monocular distance visual acuity was measured with the study lens using a Snellen distance VA chart at an optical distance of 20 feet. Observed VA data collected at fitting were dichotomized whether VA was "20/20 or better (optimal VA)" or "worse than 20/20". VA of 20/20 with a negative modifier was considered worse than 20/20. The number of eyes with 20/20 vision was reported for each study lens.
Overall Comfort	Up to 4- Week Follow-up	Overall comfort was assessed using the Contact Lens User Experience™ (CLUE) questionnaire. CLUE is a validated patient-reported outcomes (PRO) questionnaire to assess patient-experience attributes of soft contact lenses (comfort, vision, handling, and packaging) in a contact-lens wearing population in the US, ages 18-65. Derived CLUE scores using Item Response Theory (IRT) follow a normal distribution with a population average score of 60 (SD 20), where higher scores indicate a more favorable/positive response with a range of 0-120.
