Can I get contacts with such a weak prescription?

Question

I've had glasses for about 2 years and still have a fairly mild prescription and was thinking about getting contacts. But I wasn't sure if you can get contacts filled with such a low prescription and slight astigmatism. Anyone know from experience? Below is my prescription:

OD -.50

OS plano -.50 90

Answer 1

People with such a low prescription can usually clear up their eyesight by relearning to see(natural vision principles, not exe exercises) in less than a month. They also usually can get into telescopic vision(better than 20/20 eyesight, 20/15..20/10..20/5) and microscopic vision.

People who get artificial corrections(glasses, contacts, surgery) are at risk to increased blurry vision during stressful times and stronger and stronger prescriptions.

Answer 2

Yes you can most contacts start at -.50 and they have some that are plano (which is 0.00). They also have some of astigmatism which you have.

Answer 3

You can get contacts with those corrections.  Talk to your optometrist for evaluation and fitting.

Answer 4

The correction for your left eye isn't available in contacts...( OS)..and the right eye isn't worth it.

Forget about contact lenses...you have no need for them at all.
