Answer 1

Um. You relly need your Doctor's input. Just wearing adifferent contact lense is bad. Your eyes are not made the same as your friend's eye and it can cause complications that can lead to blindness. I am not kidding. I am an optician that wears contacts.  And a mom of teens that wear contacts. Do not be goofy! Call your doctor and get the right ones. And injury due to improper contact lens wear is more expensive!

Answer 2

Please us the toric lenses. They offer the best image sharpness and clearness.

Answer 3

You can wear regular (spherical) lenses but only after you have consulted your optician or eye doctor.

The thing to remember is since you would no longer getting correction for your astigmatism you may not be seeing as clearly as you would with the toric lenses.

Answer 4

Write out the prescription you have on your boxes of torics that you have now..and what power your friend is wearing.

I'm curious about what you seem to see better with....
