Can i hav contacts?

Question

i ve gt high myopia (-11) along with astigmatism(1.5) n my glasses r real thick... r there contacts that correct both myopia and astigmatism?

Answer 1

The myopia isn't so much an issue as the astigmatism.  You can have contacts, but you will most likely not get as clear vision as you do with glasses.  I also have myopia with a severe astigmatism.  I prefer my glasses for the crisper vision, but I have contacts so I can go snorkeling, and for when I want to get all dressed up and "make pretty".   You may need what is called a "Torric" lens.  I actually use a regular lens in my right eye and a torric lens in my left.  Talk with your eye doctor.
