I’m About To Get Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lenses, And I’m Wondering If It’s Okay To Play Tennis With Them?

I just had my eye exam almost exactly a week ago, and my optometrist recommended me rgp contact lenses for crisper vision, as I have bad astigmatism. I know the diameter of rgp contact is smaller than a soft contact, thus, will it be easier to… fall out of my eye in a sense?
I’m going to be playing tennis with them, and I can’t afford to lose a contact lens by it coming out of my eye.
Also, how long does it take generally to custom make rgp contact lenses? I have yet to get a call from my optometrist.

Do You Think It’s Because I Wore My Contacts Too Long?

I was supposed to throw my contacts out and open a new pair on the 13th.
My eye doctor gave me the wrong package though.
He didn’t give me the astigmatism lenses, and I’ve been wearing these way past the day I should have, and now I think I have a sty in my left eye.
Should I go to eye doctor or just use over-the-counter treatment?

One Of My Eyes Seems To Drift’. It’s Not Lazy Eye, I Had It Checked By An Optometrist. What Could Cause This?

To clarify, I got worried I had lazy eye a few months ago because I saw a picture of myself where my right eye seemed slightly off from the other eye. Everyone has told me they’ve never noticed it when I talk in an everyday situation, except for one person who said she had noticed it once. After seeing the optometrist, I was told I do NOT have lazy eye because lazy eye is where one eye is undeveloped (which is not something I have). However, I was told I had a minor case of astigmatism, where my eyes are shaped slightly like footballs. All in all, I didn’t get glasses but I was able to pass my G1 driver’s eye exam without a problem so I think my eyes are ok in that regard. I don’t understand what could cause this. Could my eyes be tired (I spend a lot of time either reading because of homework or on the computer) or is it something else?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I Have Severe Astigmatism. My Dr. Said It’s 8 “diopeters” Sp? He Said Ppl Rarely Go Over 4. Am I Going Blind?

I was having an exam for a contact lens fitting, and the dr. said disposable lenses were available for people with severe astigmatism now. But, he said that 4 “diopeters” were the highest prescription available for disposable. I have 8 in my right eye, and 6 in my left eye which he said was very bad. He seemed to make a big deal about it. Now, I’m worried. I’ve always had eye problems, but he made it sound worse than I thought it was. He also said I may have Keratoconis which I know is a corneal eye disease. Is blindness likely as I grow older. Please advise
