Medical Forum / General / Vision / June 2005Torics for this Prescription
Hi! I have googled quite a bit to see what can be found about the appropriateness of toric contact lenses for prescriptions like mine. I have tentatively concluded I might not be a good match...but I figure the best thing to do is ask... This is my eyeglass prescription...havent decided yet whether to go for contacts. With this eyeglass prescription I see better than 20/20. Sphere Cyl Axis RE +1.25 -2.25 019 LE +1.25 -2.75 163 So, anyone have an opinion whether contacts are worth attempting? Thanks, rcm I think it's a dandy Rx for toric soft lenses. Have someone order some trials in and go from there. Why did you think you might not be a "good match"? w.stacy, o.d. > Hi! > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > rcm Thanks! Glad to hear I am wrong. My reasons were that almost all the examples I saw had negative sphere numbers, and my sphere numbers are positive. Also, some people were talking about ideally wanting a 4:1 ratio of sphere to cylinder, which I don't have. But...if those things are not important I'm glad to hear it... rcm > I think it's a dandy Rx for toric soft lenses. Have someone order some > trials in and go from there.

I'd probably start with a B&L 66 toric, which is readily available in your Rx, and is reasonably priced for a new wearer. Good luck. w.stacy, o.d. > Thanks! Glad to hear I am wrong.
