Any Opticians Who Could Advice Me On This Situation?

Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism
It seems that people who need glasses are caught between a rock and hard place. People like myself who need glasses but never wear them are told that this is bad for the eyes, that the eyesight would only worsen. YET, if we start wearing glasses, the space between the eyeball and the glasses lens can actually be bad for the eyes. (I don’t know how else to explain it, except that contact lenses are the best as there is almost no space between the eyeball and the lens) Again, what about people who cannot wear contact lenses due to having sensitive eyes. What is the true story here? I want to sort the nonsense from the fact before getting new glasses. (The old ones give me headaches and thus are of the wrong prescription.) For the record, I have astigmatism.

from my own experience i would get an eye test and i would also talk to your optician and tell them what you want done. I cant wear contact lenses and after a lot of messing from my old opticians i decided to change so am now going to spec savers and they are just great and they are very helpful and they will also answer any questions that you have.
