Can I still wear non-perscription Contacts even tho I have a Astigmatism?!


Question: I Just want to wear the color contacts to make my eyes more hazel. I dont mind wearing glasses...but I still want to wear contacts with them...is this possible? I know I can get special astigmatism contacts...but I just want the non-perscription ones!

By the way I love my glasses...I would never get a perscription!

Plano contacts, those that have no vision correction, can be worn behind glasses. Your astigmatism shouldn't be a problem. Contacts are only available by prescription, though, even plano contacts. You'll need to have an eye exam and a contact lens fitting where your eye care professional will determine the type of lens that will work best for your eyes and how you'd like to wear them. They'll also tell you how to clean and care for your contacts. If you like wearing the contacts you'll still need to have an eye exam and contact fitting on a regular basis, usually every year, to continue buying them even though you're not using them to correct your vision.

Do not buy contacts from sites that claim "No Prescription Needed"! Contacts sit on your eyes and having the proper fit is essential to healthy wear. Only the proper eye care professional can determine what's best for you.

I have astigmatism, I tried the color contacts and they made my eyes very irritated and then they would get stuck in my eyes. But it may be different for you. You can try them.

Yes ma'am you can. Just go to your eye doctor and he'll give you all the details, or you could google it for more info. When i got colored contacts they were only 30 bucks for a set of 3, and thats with perscription in them as well. It should be pretty cheap!

yes. there is color lesnes for people who have astigmatism. freshlook is one of them
