Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism
i heard once that you could put 2 contacts in each eye and it would work. the ony reason i am asking this is i would like to purchase some halloween contacts (no perscription). These halloween contacts dont work for an astigmatism which is what i have in my regular contacts. could someone please elaborate for me?
What you’re describing will not work.
Ask your doctor if you can get a pair of WildEyes as close to your prescription as possible. Even if the lenses don’t correct your astigmatism, they will correct your nearsightedness or farsightedness. If you don’t have much astigmatism, this might be good enough for one night — assuming you’re not driving to the Halloween party!
Your eye doctor will have a perspective on whether this is a good idea for you or not. Don’t do anything without consulting with him/her.
This is called “piggy backing” contacts and it must be ok’d by your doctor. Usually “piggy backing” is only used with a soft and hard lens. Using two soft lenses especially if one is a toric one is not recommended. Your best bet is to talk to your doctor and see what he/she recommends.
eh I think I accidentally put two contacts in my eye on day you could try doing it, it might not be very comfortable though
and Halloween is not that important of an occasion to mess with you eyes
