Contact Lens Prescription 0 Sph Means No Correction?

I have astigmatism and recently ordered contact lenses with an sph of +1.00. They do not work at all. I looked at my old lenses which did work, and they have an sph of 0.00. While the CYL (-1.75) and AX (20) are the same for both pairs. Does this make sense, an sph of 0.00 being able to correct my astigmatism? I thought the sph of 0.00 meant not correction…

Can A High Myopic Astigmatism Patient Have Surface Ablation Laser Eye Correction Down Twice To Treat His Eyes?

Is 180 Considered A High Degree Of Astigmatism? Can I Wear Lenses Without Astigmatism Correction?

The 180 axis is the plane of the astigmatism, not the amount. For the amount, you need to look at the cylinder prescription.
By lenses, I assume you mean contacts. I would have to know your cylinder numbers to know if you could get by with non-toric contacts. If you have less than 3/4 diopeter units (eg., -0.75) for the cylinder, you can wear regular contacts or soft disposables. An eye doctor may add up to half the cylinder power to the sperical power to create an average prescription. Or soft disposables will correct a small amount of astigmatism even though they are not designed to do that.
