Astigmatism problem!!!?

Question

I wear clear color contacts and I have astigmatism in both eyes

I asked my doctor if I could wear color contacts, and he said NO because of astigmatism. now is there any way people with astigmatism can wear color contacts???

Answer 1

I have astigmatism in my left eye and no correction in my right eye.  I had looked into purchasing freshlook colorblends toric.  They are made with the correct power for my astigmatism but not in the axis of my astigmatism.

Answer 2

There are a couple of brands of lenses that correct astigmatism that come in colors...IF your astigmatism falls within the limited powers available in them.

Freshlook Toric Colorblends are the most popular.

It is quite possible your astigmatism is too strong for those lenses.

There are also conventional color lenses ( yearly ) that come in higher prescriptions...but they are expensive , and not all that good.

Ask him about Freshlook Colorblends again and find out if it is because your Rx is too strong, or if he just doesn't like them.

Answer 3

Hi,

I have a vert bad astigmatism but Im wearing glasses. I never know that people with astigmatism can't wear color contact.

Probably because the color will mess up with the light that suppose to reach your eyes.

Answer 4

Errrrm, I'm sure there's a way, but I have no clue. Ask an optomatrist other than the one you see. That's the best I can offer you!   :)
