I have a rather severe astigmatism and have been wearing contacts for six years. They are soft, and disposable every three months. I hardly have any trouble at all, except when I wear them for more than fifteen hours; I have a pair of glasses I wear for a couple hours a day. Because the contact lenses are weighted to correct the astigmatism (not one for far, and one for near vision–that’s incorrect), they can sometimes rotate strangely in the eye, but simply rubbing a bit will fix this.
I love wearing my contacts, and won’t ever go back to glasses.
I hace heard the same ….gonna try though then get Lasix…
I have a slight astigmatism and i wear contacts all day sometimes up to 12hrs and i never have any problems, apart from occasional dry eyes, true of all contact lens wearers.
With contacts the physician has to give you the same prescription as bifocals — that is you will have one eye that is focused for reading closeup and the other eye for far off sight. Works great for a while but astigmatism usually progresses with age, with or without lasik, and the strain on the brain to mix the two corrected sights into a unified vision becomes a burden. Try it. I had 24/20 for 10 years. You might try a pair of reading glasses for reading at night. That will soothe it.
