  The evaluation revealed no movement in the right lens and minimal movement in the left, indicating a tight-fitting relationship.

• 3

  A white ring on the lenses, resulting from oxidative cleaning, is a harmless calcium salt that appears after 4 to 6 months of wear.

• 4

  Hybrid contact lenses combine the benefits of GP lenses and soft lenses, making them suitable for patients with irregular corneas.
