Why can't I purchase the same colored contacts (perscriptioned) I bought be!


Question: Why can't I purchase the same colored contacts (perscriptioned) I bought before?
So I went to the optomitrist and she told me my right eye got worse so I have a stignatism now in my right hand.(and I have one in my left eye too) so my whole perscription changed. But the funny thing is I used to wear pure hazel contacts (perscriptioned) and she said the reason that I can't order them anymore is that they don't make a right eye for the stignatism that I have and that the only colors that do is grey,blue,green and honey. So my question is why can't I buy hazel perscriptioned contacts from a different brand? I use freshlook

Contact Lenses are custom fit for your eyes and if your prescription changed, then your contact lens choice has changed. When you have an astigmatism, you have to get a toric contact. A toric lens is a contact that has the sphere power and the cylinder and axis power. The cylinder and axis are the powers that you need to correct your astigmatism. You need a "double powered" lens instead of a single powered lens and that is why your contact lens selection has changed. Freshlook may not offer ones with astigmatism. Best of luck.

There are only so many contacts brands which provide astigmatism lenses, so it's not uncommon for them to not have hazel as a color.

When you have astigmatism, your choice for contacts is reduced, unfortunately D:
