Can you wear everyday contacts when you hold astigmatism??
Answers: It depends entirely on how much astigmatism you have.
Usually at 1.00 or more, it has to be corrected near a Toric lens, or you just won't see as well...but not within all cases.
You may only own 0.25 or 0.50 astigmatism correction...if so, a special lens isn't required. There are ways to compensate for that.
It's impossible to give you any better idea lacking seeing what your prescription actually is.
EDIT **
Sorry , didn't see your response until just in a minute.
Ok...well your prescription is nothing BUT astigmatism...so you definately hold to use a toric lens if you are going to use contacts at all.
Using a regular lens that doesn't correct that astigmatism wouldn't work at all.
You enjoy no power in the first numbers, which would be the sphere...the sphere power is what regular lenses are.
The only power you own is that 0.75...that is all astigmatism, along beside the axis.
If you want to see with your contacts...you have no other choice.sorry.
Yes and no. By no, I denote there are special contacts desinged specifically for people near a stigmatism. So they are not "normal." However, yes because you may not need the corrective contacts (which cost more). I enjoy a stigmatism in one of my eyes, but I wear normal contacts. I certainly see better with them than with corrective contacts (better than 20/20 actually). My doctor say it happens sometimes that the corrective aspect of the contact is too strong and normal contacts will work. When it is unattainable to correct irregular astigmatism with glasses you can shift for contact lenses.
