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.

They will be so blurry , you won’t be able to wear them.
You’ll probably see pretty blurry in them. Also if the lens rotates in your eyes as you blink, you might get even blurrier vision each time you blink–no fun! Contacts for astigmatism have to sit steady for crisp vision, and rotation will cause distortion, especially in your eyes since you don’t need the cyl correction.
A certain aspect of your vision will be over-corrected by 2.25D due to the cyl, causing you to have to focus extra hard to clear up vision. I don’t think you will be comfortable in these lenses.
Also you don’t know how his lenses will physically FIT on your eye. Different lenses are made of different materials, and you don’t want a lens on your eye that is too tight, cutting off oxygen to your cornea. If the lens is too loose, it moves all over the place when you blink and is super uncomfortable.
Be sure to have back up glasses or order your contacts earlier to avoid any future problems. Good luck!
You will be able to see clearer then not wearing anything at all but it will still be slightly blurry. The cyl component of the contact lens will make things blurry for you and also if you haven’t been fitted with contact lenses for astigmatism they may not fit properly.
the cylinder is very high, I would not recommend it and the axis is Oblique meaning not normal, so you are gonna get headache if you use them. Again I wont use them
Wait for your actual RX to come in. You will not be able to see well using those lenses even if they did fit your eyes.
