Confused About What Type Of Contacts To Get [points To Best Answer]?

admin — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 04:35:49 +0000

I have really bad short-sightedness (myopia) and quite bad astigmatism. I think I have to get toric lenses (that is what the optician said) because of the astigmatism but will any type work for the astigmatism AND the myopia or will they only work for the astigmatism.
I doubt I’ll get any answers so thanks if you help!

I’m trying to order contact lenses online. (No, I don’t want to go through an optometrist because I want circle lenses.)
But I still can’t figure out what’s the difference between astigmatism and non-astigmatism contacts.
And what is the base curve, diameter measurements for?
Would it be alright if they were off just a little?

Confused On How To Read My Contact Lens Prescription?

My eye doctor wrote +175 for the sphere of my right eye. Is it really +175 or actually +1.75? I am trying to order contact lenses online and i realized the highest power i can select for contact lenses is +9.00
So i cant be really 175 right?
I am currently a contact lens wearer. I am trying to get color contacts but alot of opticians will not get it for me because they keep saying how i have a “rare” prescription.. I suffer from astigmatism and hyperopia. and how my pupils are bigger then normal people.. -____-”
