My right eye has astigmatism of -.75 cylinder 020 axis dia 14.5 Is my astigmatism good enough so I can wear normal contacts? I’ve tried torics and they’re extremely uncomfortable and sometimes they blur my vision. The normal contact in my left eye feels very comfortable though, there’s a small amount of astigmatism in my left eye but i’m able to wear normal contacts with ease. Can I do this with my right eye?

I ran out of contacts and someones trying to sell me some contacts but they are for astigmatism.
The one hes selling is
D= -3.00
cyl= -2.25
Axis= 100
my perscription is -3.00
do you think if i wear them it will be bad or i wont be able to see? I wont wear them for long. I just need a quick fix because my own contacts havent came in yet.

I have the prescription info, but I usually wear clear contacts, I want a change in the color and I was wondering if anyone has ever purshased color contacts for astigmatism??? Any help would be nice thanks…
I think my prescription is too high for color contacts… BC 8.6, DIA 14.5, Power -4.50, CYL -1.25, and AXIS 180, and I want color contacts so bad… What if I order BC 8.7 and DIA 14.0 and power -4.50??? They dont ask for axis- would that work???

OD
Sphere -075
cylinder -350
axis 007
OS
Sphere -150
Cylinder -325
Axis 001
i emailed to this site and they said
"Your OD is -1.50 and OS is -0.75. According to the details of your eye prescription, you have strong astigmatism and need toric lenses."
Are they right about my prescription? Where can I get toric circle lenses?

i just went to the eye doctors the other day and i have just found out that i have an astigmatism. i was planning on getting a pair of circle lenses (color contacts that are slightly bigger then the iris of your eye to make your eyes look bigger) but i dont know if i can order them anymore. ive heard that you can get some for asigmatisms but they dont come in a lot of colors but ive also heard that if tastigmatismism is juslightigh that you can just get regular ones. my prescription is
right eye: -1.75
left eye: -2.00 CYL: -0.50 AXIS: 171
does that mean i have a slight astigmatism. if so, should i just get regular circle lenses. thank you for any answers!

Hi,
I am using specs from the last 9-10 months(not continous though) for the cylindrical power (astigmatism)
sph cyl axis
R -0.50 -1.50 70
L -0.50 -1.25 100
and recently checked with an optometrist on March of 2007
I asked him that I am interested to have the contact lens since I am not comfortable using those specs. He told he could do that since my cornea is not flat and won’t be having any problem with the fitting of the lens.
He almost tried Accuvue advance for Astigmatism,Bausch and lomb , cooper vision (if iam not wrong) soft contact lens and nothing gave me 100% satisfaction since I find them convenient wearing for some time and in a sec I find everything is blurred for few secs and again normal. Mostly having problem when seeing the computer for a few mins. and when I am in the A/C while shopping in a mall or so.Do I need toseeother doct.
Please suggest.

My brother got a lens prescription with only one eye showing some astigmatism: Cylinder -0.25 (Axis 85)
Since the lowest increment with prescriptions is .25 (e.g., 1.25, 1.50, 1.75… etc) I was wondering how important it is that I get him toric lenses for that eye (i.e. for astigmatism).
Problem is most companies sell toric lenses starting with .50 or .75 (cylinder), and also the idea of buying two types of lenses (normal and toric) is off-putting.
Custom made lenses are one solution but too expensive.
I should also note that, in the past, I’ve ordered myself lenses that were .25 off from my prescription in cylinder and power, and it made no difference to me.
So bottom line: should I ignore the -.25 astigmatism and just order normal lenses?
Expert or informed opinions please.

I’ve been wanting to get circle lenses for close to a year now and have been researching the last couple of weeks on brands, colors and types. I have astigmatism in both eyes and am near sighted (I believe that’s the right term – basically everything further away is blurry) and I have been hearing a lot of rumors about circle lenses and astigmatic people.
I wear glasses daily and have used regular contact lenses before, but I was wondering on if toric lenses are actually needed to be bought? Ive read that some people don’t even use toric lenses and just get regular prescription circle lenses. Is this okay? I know that the Nudy and Angel series are supposedly a better fit, are there others?
And the last bit is that, I was reading on how people were inputing their prescriptions when buying their lenses and what I don’t understand is whether you’re supposed to do the whole take the half value of your cylinder value (i believe that’s the one) and add it to the spherical value thing, does that mean a better fit? Or a better prescription?
My prescription is:
O.D. -2.75 -0.50 135
O.S. -1.50 -0.50 50
SPH CYL AXIS
Quite a confusing business these circle lenses. It’d be much appreciated to hear from fellow astigmatics circle lens wearers and their experiences, and also from any professionals in the Optometry field. Thank you!

When I searched on the internet it said that the axis was how much the lenses rotated while in the eye, and that the higher prescription the more blurred the vision is if the axis is wrong. The dailies only give axis options of 20 90 160 or 180. Can I use the axis of 20 for my prescribed 40 and 90 for my prescribed 110? When I searched for the lenses with my prescription I only get the option of buying the 2 weekly that I already buy from the opticians. I really only want them for emergencies.

I know that the sphere effects the thickness but does the cylinder and axis affect it as well?
my prescription looks like this:
SPH CYL AXIS
PL -3.25 175
-1 -1.50 040
is that going to be a thick lens if i use the regular 1.59 index polycarbonate lenses?

I recently had cataract surgery and the AcrySof Toric IOL implanted in one eye. At the first checkup, my vision was:
SPH: +1.25
CYL: Nil
AXIS: Nil
Just 2 days ago, my follow up revealed the following
SPH: +1.00
CYL: -0.50
AXIS: 160
Q: During this period, I developed about -0.50 D of astigmatism. What are the chances of my Astig progressing until I’ll be needing astigmatic correction in the future?
Q: I hear from my surgeon that some form of astigmatism can be beneficial for my overall vision. What qualify it as "beneficial astigmatism"?
Q: It is believed that mild level of astigmatism does not warrant correction. What range is considered as "mild"? Will my current level of astigmatism require vision correction?
Q: My concern is since my IOL is a toric lens, initial tests showed that it corrected 100% of my astigmatism. The sudden appearance of -0.50 D of Astig, may mean the IOL is rotating inside my eye, thus negating any correction by the IOL? How likely is that the case?

Regular contacts rather than ones for astigmatism, I mean?
My prescription is:
Right eye:
Sphere: -5.75, Cylinder: -75, Axis: 150, Base Curve: 87.
Left eye:
Sphere: -6.00, Cylinder: -75, Axis: 10, Base Curve: 87.
Also, would my contacts be cheaper if I have insurance? How much cheaper?
