Question: In a contact lens prescription, is the AXIS really an important feature!?

Answers:
If you have a prescription for lenses to correct astigmatism, the axis will be on the prescription!.

You certainly can't guess at the axis!.!.!.the axis is what determines whether you will see with them or not!.

If your prescription looks something like

OD - 2!.00
OS - 2!.25

Then that is just a spherical correction, there will be no cylinder, therefore no axis!.

I'm really curious how you " know" all the values!.!.!.do you even have a prescription for contacts !?Www@Answer-Health@Com

The axis is important!. A good default value would be zero!.
How do you know that you have astigmatism with contacts lenses on!? Find out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
