What does my eye glass perscription mean and what can I do about my dry contacts?

Question

My perscription is R -125 -075 -160 and L -125 -075 - 180. I got a trail pair of accuvue for astigmatisum and I hate them. there fine for the first 2 or 3 hours then they become very dry and uncomfortable. And no matter how much eye drops I put they stay dry. I mean is it my eyes or is it the contacts ?

Answer 1

As already said, short-sightedness of 1.25Din both eyes and astigmatism of -0.75D. (Combined in the centre of the cylinder the power is -2.00D) The other numbers (-160 and -180) are the degrees showing which way the astigmatism is and therefore which angle to put the cylindrical aspect of the lens.

Answer 2

Sounds like you need to be trying another brand.

Those Acuvue for astigmatism cause problems for a lot of people. Either bad optics, poor comfort or drying out fast.

I don't even fit them at my office anymore. Over half the patients we give trials to don't like them at all...

So, you are not alone...it's not you...it's the contacts.

Answer 3

u have short sightness of -125 and astigstism of about -0.75. maybe u r not suitable for contacts
