If you have mild astigmatism, which lenses do you wear?

Do you mean contact lenses?
What do you mean by which? Brand? Disposable?

Mine just come in a specsavers box? So possibly their own? Monthly.

Do you wear toric lenses, or just normal?

I use Oasys Acuvue.

Figgyroller · 04/01/2022 11:31

Daily (normal Acuevue ones) but diff prescriptions in each eye.

What do you class as "mild" astigmatism?

NarNooNarNoo · 04/01/2022 11:36

I have toric (just for my right eye)

My son has quite strong astigmatism and has just started trialling contacts - he has monthly lenses, and they are thicker / heavier at the bottom of the lens than at the top, so they have a “right way up” - not sure if that is “toric” or not? He’s getting on v well with them so far.

I rarely wear contact lenses, but when I do I wear daily disposable spherical (ie with no astigmatism correction).

I have fairly significant astigmatism in one eye, but I find toric lenses less comfortable and more bother, so I just wear normal dailies. I can see ok - fine for driving but not as well as in my glasses.
