toric contact lens issues?!
Question: Toric contact lens issues?
i currently use clear contact lenses on a daily basis
my prescription is
8.4/14.4 -5.5 -3.25 x170
and 8.4/14.4 -5.5 3.25 x10
i recently ordered circle lenses in the exact same prescription (except the diameter was 14) but after the first wear it started to make my eyes burn on contact, they turned red and watered constantly. i could not keep them in for a prolonged period of time. the store i bought them from has been understanding about my issues, and offered to let me try a toric lens in a different brand as they believed i had an allergy to the lens i bought. however, they haven't responded to me for a week and i just want to be able to wear circle lenses! would i be able to see if i just bought a pair of regular circle lenses without the 3.25 cylindrical value? they would be 60 dollars cheaper and i'm so tired not getting a response from the store and not being able to wear them :(
thanks in advance

You have so much astigmatism that if you get regular lenses that don't correct that part...you won't see very well with them at all.
It's pretty well guaranteed you won't have acceptable vision without a toric lens.

You might be able to, but personally your vision will not be as crisp and it's quite annoying. Also, have you soaked your circle lenses first before wearing? Most of the times, the solution they are stored in is very harsh on the eyes.
If you want to try circle lenses for a cheaper price, I recommend cutepuppyeyes.blogspot.com.
