Can I Still Get Contacts?

I have astigmatism. My glasses have a big prism in them and I have to have a surgery to correct my astigmatism and then another surgery like lasik to get rid of all the problems. I am 17 and can’t do those surgeries for another few years because my eyes are still changing. I’m going to be in my school play and the teacher says that we can’t have glasses for performances. I have no contacts and if I take off my glasses, not only do I see blur, but I also see everything in double. What should I do? I really want to be in this show! Any way I can get contacts to at least not see double? Or to see less blur?

Help! I Just Got Contacts, But Things Are Still Blurry?

I just got contacts about a week ago and my vision is clearer than without them, but sometimes I feel like things are uneven or my vision goes blurry when I blink. I have astigmatism in my right eye, but I thought wearing contacts (toric kinds for the right) would keep this from happening? Do I need a stronger prescription or something?

I Still Cant See Out Of My Contacts?

Hey everyone i recently ordered contacts from walmart. I have astigmatism on my left eye so contacts for this eye cost me over 100 dollars! and i still cant see out of it. its blurry! Is this suppose to be like that? I can see fine out of my other eye and those contacts only cost like 30 dollars? The problem is when i got my “try on” contacts i never went back to the doctor so he can see if my contacts are helping my eyes. and i went back to walmart and they just told me i can order the contacts so i did but i see blurry out of my left eye? What should i do??

Okay, I’m Still Confused?

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?

I Ordered Contacts With The Wrong Sph Number, Can I Still Use Them ?

admin — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 04:57:54 +0000

I have an astigmatism and i accidentally ordered the wrong SPH. My correct prescription is 8.4/14.4 0 -2.75 x165. I ordered 8.4/14.4 +1.00 -2.75 x165. Can i still wear these? They are Proclear Toric XR and cost $80/box. I really don’t want to open them if they aren’t going to work right. Thanks for the help!

Can I Still Get Contacts If I Have An Astigmatism, I’m Short Sighted And Have A Squint?

YOu should be able to. You need a Doctor that does a lot of Toric fittings. Call around and ask. They can be expensive for the fitting and the lenses, so be aware that it is not cheap. but it can be done!
