How To Tell If Toric Lens Has Wrong Axis?

Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism
I went to the eye doctor recently for a contact lens exam and got some B & L Soflens torics. They are ok except that my left contact lens doesn’t fully correct my astigmatism. My vision is kinda still blurry, but here’s the funny thing; if my contacts are feeling a bit dry and I use some rewetting drops, my left eye becomes as clear and as sharp as my right eye!!! however my right eye then gets blurry, just like my left eye. this lasts for about 2-3 minutes then my right eye gets sharp again while my left eye becomes blurry again. I would think it would be something to do with lens drying out, but that doesn’t explain why my right eye would have a temp blurriness and then return to its sharp, clear vision. also my left eye’s vision is a bit “slanted” when compared to my right eye. could the axis or power be incorrect?
It could be a couple of things. Either the lenses are rotating too much when you blink, causing the blur, or they are fitting too tight, which will cause the dryness, and blurriness to come and go, because they aren’t rotating back to the correct position as fast as normal.
Most likely they are too tight for you.
Your Optometrist would have to check the fitting again under the slit lamp while you have them on to determine the exact problem.
Should have gone to Spec Savers!
that is really odd, I’d get ahold of your eye doctor
