Answers:
You haven't given all the information with respect to the toric need!. If you have a need for toric lenses there should be 3 numbers associated with each eye!.!.!.!.for example:
-2!.50 -0!.75 x 180 or something of that nature!. If you had a small amount of astigmatism before, you may have been able to wear the spherical lenses with no problems!. Sometimes a patient is fit with the spherical equivalent of their astigmatic prescription!. For example, if you were -2!.75 -100 x180, your spherical equivalent would be -3!.25 (close to the -3!.50 you were wearing in the past)!. If you could provide more information, I can tell you more about your situation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
