What contacts can i get for very high astigmatism??
Question: i just came from the eye specailist at sears and they told me that my vision is 20/25 but the quality is so horrible that they dont know of any contacts that are available for me. i tried several of thier strongest perscriptions but they werent even close to being good enough. do you know of any contacts for very high astigmatism?
Answers: I have the same problem, and Toric lenses are the answer if you want contacts. However, my brother and I both found them extremely uncomfortable, regardless of the brand (we tried several, including Accuvue). They are thicker, bigger around, and are weighted at the bottom. I went back to glasses. Bummer, eh?
Only time I need contacts is for workouts, etc. and I don't have to see perfectly for that. Plain ole contacts will do for that.
I'm no expert but i thought for astigmatism you had to get toric lenses or something. I'm not sure and I'm not going to find out because I'm fat and lazy, but ask your optician.
i use accuvue toric lenses. but i dont know how severe my astigmatism is. they are comfortable and my vision is fine with the contacts.
