ABSTRACT:
A contact lens, particularly a high minus power anterior surface toric lens, is made having a toric central optical portion without prism and an annular outer portion having prism but without toric effect, the outer portion being truncated in a lower part so that there is upward movement of the center of rotation of the blank and of the center of gravity in a manner such that the center of gravity is in use below the center of rotation, thus assisting if the lens is rotated by lid or eye movement the lens tends to rotate back into correct orientation.
