Approximately How Much Would Contacts Cost?

I also have an astigmatism.

What Would My Contact Lens Prescription Be Approximately?

Here is my particular situation. 1. I am disabled and cannot spend much time on the computer, so there’s only so much research I can do on my own. 2. Because of my disability, my financial resources are limited. 3. I recently went to an eye doctor and had a full eye exam. I didn’t find out until after the exam that he does not do contact lens prescriptions. Now here is an interesting part of the story…. 4. I only need the contacts long enough to try on eyeglasses and see how they look! I do not want someone choosing them for me. I do not want to pay another fee and have another exam…. So, I found some sites that will fill a request for contacts without verifying it with the doctor. But this is the other thing I need, if possible: I know nothing about vision prescriptions. I need at least a ballpark prescription to submit in order to get the lenses. I can tell you that I have been nearsighted since 3rd grade (I am now 53 years old). I also have astigmatism. Not sure if it is in one or both eyes. I’m sure it’s in my right eye — referring to astigmatism. I’m kinda sure it’s in both. I wear progressive lenses and my brand new prescription is as follows: DISTANCE: O.D.: SPHERICAL: -875 CYLINDRICAL: +075 AXIS: 138
O.S.: SPHERICAL: -1100 CYLINDRICAL: +100 AXIS: 071
READING: O.D.: +200 O.S.: +200 I don’t know if any of that information would help you to supply an educated guess as to a contact lens prescription that I could get that would just allow me to wear them long enough to pick out some glasses and see well enough to do so. The prescription doesn’t have to be exact. I don’t want to hurt my eyes, but I also don’t want to waste over $100 going to another doctor and then ordering a package of toric lenses. Can anyone out there help me? If so, please indicate exactly how to express the prescription. I am wondering if perhaps I don’t need the toric. Could I get away with regular ones? I have just typed here what is on my prescription for glasses, but I’m sure that a contact lens prescription is expressed completely differently. Please do not answer unless you actually have relevant information to my question. Thanks much!
