Are there 1 day contact lenses for Astigmatism?
Do they exist? I've been wearing contacts for almost a year now and I've been using Biofinity Toric contact lenses. They last for a month and then I open a new pair. They aren't bad but sometimes I can feel them and they make my eyes sort of dry or uncomfortable after the first few days. Do they sell 1 day contacts for Astigmatism? If not, I've read very good reviews for Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism and I want to try them . I usually get my contacts from 1-800contacts but I was wondering if there is any other website that is cheaper?
Hi there,
The best thing to do is make an appointment to see the eye doctor/ophthalmologist who prescribed your contact lenses. Yes, there are daily astigmatism or toric lenses. However, they come in different sizes as well as different strengths. Contact lenses are made from a range of materials, so they differ brand to brand. Your practioner will know what is right for you.
It is important that you have a check up if your eyes are dry. You may need to switch to a different brand at the advice of your eye doctor.
Also, if you decide to order contact lenses online (after you have been prescribed the new lenses) always use a reputable web site. The reputable sites will only sell you lenses after checking your prescription with your eye doctor/ ophthalmologist.
Yes, you can buy cheap lenses from cheap sites, but this is not a good idea. You may end up with unsuitable lenses. When it comes to your eyes, you should invest in lenses from reputable sources.
Always have regular check ups. I cannot tell you how many patients I have come across with eye health problems from not having their check ups!
Good luck,
