Contact Lens help? (Adding this)?!


Question: Contact Lens help? (Adding this)?
I want to buy contact lens, and there's this place I really trust and know, that sells cheap contact lenses (don't ask). The problem is I have astigmatism, and the lenses for astigmatism are very expensive. :|. If I were to buy normal lenses not for astigmatism with degree, will I still be able to see clearly like how I would if I were to be using normal contact lenses for astigmatism. Please do help me fast ! Thank you. :)

Answers:

It really depends on how much astigmatism you have , as to how well you will be able to see without it being corrected.

You don't show any numbers so we have no clue.

Optician



I have astigmatism and wear normal lenses. Mainly because I couldn't get on with the astigmatism lenses. I only wear my lenses socially so the optician was fine about it. My eye sight is not quite as good with the normal lenses so I wouldn't want to wear them for hours every day and when working, but they are just fine for social stuff. You really need to get a professional's opinion on this though, especially if you want to wear the lenses for driving or are intending to wear them every day. You should also be getting annual checks once you are wearing lenses so that the optician can monitor the health of your eye. It's not worth putting your health in danger for the sake of money.



I'd add to what footprinz has said that I don't see as clearly without torics ( for astigmatism) but you may have less astigmatism than I do.
