Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism
ive been wearing normal contacts for months and now i want coloured ones. I have an astigmatism in one eye. One optician i asked said that means i can’t get coloured contacts another said i can. hellllllllllllllllllp? my eye colour sucks
Yes you can, so long as they’re soft, toric. These mould to the shape of your eye and give extra comfort, the rigid gas permeable ones tend to stick in one place and you end up with a groove in your eye.
I know this from personal experience. Good luck.
Yes you can. I used to work for a contact lens manufacturer & we made prescription lenses = Toric & colour. They will cost more & they wont be throw away. Try Dollond & Aitchison, Boots, or Specksavers, we supplied all of these.
Have fun.
Yes you can. I have astigmatism in one eye too and i have colored contacts. I have Freshlook contacts in blue and green. They cost $40 dollars a box and last a month.
Acuveu 2 (that may be spelled wrong) offers a line of contact lenses made especially for astigmatism. Now, if you research this line, you may find they offer colored contacts also. Just google ‘Acuveu 2 colored contacts for astigmatism”
There are Freshlook Colorblend Torics available…from Ciba
They are opaque colour lenses that are 2 week disposables.
The Acuvue lenses for astigmatism don’t come in colours.
