How bad is 'bad astigmatism'??
Question: I planning on asking my doctor if I can order circle lenses (these colored contacts) and apparently it's not for people who have bad astigmatism. I think (according to my contact box) that my astigmatism is -1.75 for both eyes, is that really bad? The way to find out my astigmatism is to look at the CYL part right?
Answers: Yes, astigmatism is the Cylinder correction of your Rx. Yours is on the strong side of mild- and youir Doctor might be able to Rx you the Freshlook Colorblend Toric contacts
no i don't think it is, but am not positive.
Yah, not very bad as it is normal for astim to be between -0.75 to -300. Bad astim will be more than -300 degree.
