Answer 1

Ask your eye doctor. Do what he tells you.

Answer 2

my eyes are way worst then your and i can get then for 100 dollars a month, any color. that store sucks.

Answer 3

In my experience, I've seen where the dr. has to sometime do trial and error to get the right prescription for you to have contact lenses.  Get a 2nd opinion.  I am pretty sure there is a brand of toric lenses for you to wear.

Answer 4

about the cost of the contacts no  opinion could be given but the different brands have different cost ,,  may choose but popular brand shave higher rates--- you may have to decide

Answer 5

Yes you can, my eyes are bout that same a lil better.(no offence) but you buy one pack for the right and one pack of contacts for the left..... but make sure they are the right precripsion

Answer 6

i don't know. go to your doctor srop bothering people with questuions

Answer 7

yes you can get contacts i know somone that has really bad astigmatism and has cheap contacts.. you should go see your optometrist who ever told you to pay 400dollars is a r****d

Answer 8

You should be able to get a disposal lens for your right eye.  I wear purevision toric and I know it is made in that prescription.  I am just not sure about your base curve and diameter to know if this lens will fit your eye or not.  



I think you are probably stuck custom ordering a custom lens for your left eye.  The highest cylinder power I've seen in a disposal contact lens is -2.25.

Good Luck

Answer 9

i wish i knew the answer.

maybe go see another eye doctor.

get some more opinions.

i would think you should be able to.

Answer 10

check acuvue, you should be able to find some for cheaper than that. shop around !

Answer 11

Your left eye is a problem, but Coopervision makes the Frequency Toric XR that goes up to that power, and more.

It is a monthly disposable, and goes for around 100.00 a box of 6...which is good for 6 months...for your right eye, it would be around 30 or 40.00 less...

So, that is a lot better than 400.00

Maybe your Dr. isn't aware of that brand.
