Question

I have sort of an astigmatism, so will that factor?

Answer 1

yup!  i have astigmatism & i wore contacts for YEARS!  i got lazy when i had my daughter & have worn glasses for 2 years, but they make special contacts for astigmatism.

Answer 2

just tell the doctor, since they have astigmatism contact lenses. just fyi, they dont have daily disposabal ones, only 2 week, 1 month, or 1 year ones. dont ask me why

Answer 3

They make contact specifically for astigmatism.

Answer 4

Yes almost anyone who has glasses can get contacts.  There are some people with eye conditions who would not be able to wear contacts.  Just tell your doctor that you want them and they should be able to do a fitting.  Toric lenses are thicker than spherical lenses and sometimes require multiple fittings to get the best possible vision.  I also have astigmatism and use a toric contact lens to correct it.

Answer 5

of course glasses and contacts can correct astigmatism as long as ur responsible enough 2 wear contacts and care 4 them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
