Did My Eye Degree Get Better.. Because Of Contacts?

I recently went and visited the eye doctor and found that my left eye is now 325, rather than 350 from the last time I checked it.
However, my astigmatism increased, but not by too much. (I don’t remember the exact values.) I have very very little astigmatism. My right eye is still the exact same with minimal astigmatism and 400 degree.
I am currently wearing cosmetic contact lens that covers a bit of the sclera of the eye (slightly bigger than the pupil). I bought it at a glasses shop where they looked at my old prescription (350 left eye, 400 right eye). It doesn’t irritate me at all.
I was wondering was this good or bad that my astigmatism increased by a bit, but my eye degree decreased?
And did the contacts have anything to do with it?
If it did, why did it not affect my right eye at all?

i forgot to ask my optometrist about this, but not too long ago, he gave me a paper with numbers saying “spherical: o.d.: -1.50, o.s.: -1.25″ “cylindrical: both sides -0.75″ i know for a fact that o.d. and o.s. means right and left, but i wonder, since i want to get contacts, are any of these numbers used for the degree of the contact lenses? or how else can i know what is my eye degree for eye contacts besides seeing an optometrist (i dont want to see my opt again because i have to pay for each time i go there for check ups =\).

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.
