Recommend Contact Lens Suitable For Spherical And Cylindrical Power
Hi,
I can't see distant objects and having both spherical and cylindrical power for my eyes. I've been using spects with glasses since last 10 years. Now, I'm planning to buy contact lenses. My eye power for right eye is Sp: -1.75, Cy: -0.50 and for left eye is- SP: -1.00, CY: -0.50. In market, opticians gave me only spherical lens, but I didn't get clear vision with only spherical power. Please suggest if there are contact lens available in market for both spherical and cylindrical power.

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having refractive error in the form of myopia with astigmatism.
This can be corrected by toric contact lenses and this will correct both spherical and cylindrical power
Hence I advice you to consult your optometrist or ophthalmologist for prescriotion of toric contact lenses.
Thank you
