When I was putting in my contacts today I noticed that my right eye ball is higher than my left. Why is that? I am near sighted in my left eye and I have an astigmatism in my right.
Astigmatism Prescription – Can Incorrect Cyl #s Make Things Appear Closer Than They Actually Are?

Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism
I got a new eye exam and new prescription glasses. I am not nearsided nor farsided, I only have an astigmatism. 5 years ago, my eye exam was: R: plano, -1.00, 180, L: plano, -0.75, 172. Now, the doctor tested me and came up with:
R: plo, -1.25, 176, Left: plo, -1.00, 168.
I know astigmatism can worsen and rotate, however, my new prescription makes things magnified (appear closer than they actually are). My old glasses did NOT do that. When I got my new glasses, I couldn’t even put my key into my car door! this is not just the fishbowl effect, it’s a physical distortion. I’m worried the CYL numbers are too strong and should be closer to what my old numbers were. I believe I still see 20/20 through my old glasses. I only want things to be clearer, not closer! Please tell me if there’s any justification to what’s happening. I complained to the doctor, but he didn’t retest me with my old glasses on and he said I would have to “get used it”. I’m in disagreement. Please help
Why Is My Right Eye Blurrier Than My Left Eye With Contacts On?

I got my contacts around 9 months ago. A few months ago, I’ve noticed my right eye was blurrier than my left eye. My doctor said I had astigmatism before I got my contacts. Is it because of astigmatism or does my right eye have the wrong prescription? Or is it because of an infection?

How Are Contact Lenses For Astigmatism Different Than Regular Contact Lenses?
September 23, 2009 by admin
Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism
The reason I ask is because I was prescribed Acuvue Oasys lenses with a Base Curve of 8.6, but when I look for them they only come in 8.4 and 8.8. However, there are Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism with a base curve of 8.6. Can I get those? Does that mean I have astigmatism?
Why Is One Eye Bigger Than The Other When Wearing Glasses?

Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism
I have astigmatism with a little farsightedness- +.75 and +1.00. One eye seems magnified under the lens. The optician says for a low prescription such as mine, high index lenses wouldn’t make a difference. Is aspheric lenses the same as high index lenses? Do I have any other options so that my eyes seem the same size?

Why are acuvue for astigmatism cheaper by 80$ on some websites than 1-800-contacts? Is there anything I should be worried about? I bought them from a site other than 1-800-contacts and they were perfectly fine. So why the big price difference?
I Wear Contacts, Is It Normal To See Slightly Better With One Eye Than The Other?
August 14, 2009 by admin

I wear frequency 55 on my right eye
and Soflens 66 toric on my left.
When I cover my one eye and look out of the other, I notice that my vision in my left eye is slightly better than my right. This is the case even though my left eye has astigmatism and my right doesn’t. Why do you think this is? Is this normal, or should both eyes have the same vision?
