Are Circles Lenses and Colored Contacts Safe for People with Astigmatism/bad Eyesight?
April 24th, 2010 | See the Top Answers to this Question Below
I’m not sure how bad my astigmatism is but my eyesight is pretty bad for a 16-year-old (around -8 approxI amately on both sides). =/
I heard somewhere that circles lenses are not safe for people with astigmatism unless the brand specifically makes them for that like G&G. If that is the case, what about colored contacts? I am aware that circle lenses & colored contacts are two different things.
Thanks.

Hi~!
It’s true that if you have astigmatism it will be better for you to get special contacts that are made for astigmatism, and it’s perfectly safe, unless if your eyes are not suited for wearing contacts then you can’t wear them.
Circle lenses have this black ring around the outside to make your eyes look bigger while you wear it and colored contact lenses just changes the color of your eyes.
If you live in asian countries such as China, Japan or Korea, then it’s pretty easy to find stores that sell circle lenses. But if you’re in some other country, you can still find them in stores but they’ll be really expensive. There are a lot of online sites that you can get them where they’re much cheaper.
here are some circle lens that are made for astigmatism:
