Having Noticed Rx & A Very Bad Astigmatism In Both Eyes

i have recently started wearing contacts again after 12 yrs of stopping the use of contacts. I wore RGP prior to now. i have a very bad Rx and a very bad astigmatism in both eyes. I am wearing soft contacts now and the Rx isn't just right but as close as they can get. For some reason my right eye isn't tolerating the contacts as my left. i have tried wearing just the left contact and it works ok for me. is it ok to use just one contact or will it damage my vision in either eye?

You have to use both or remove both. Regarding problem in one eye you can consult eye doctor. May be by using artificial tear drop it will be alright. Such time you are alright can use specs.
