Just recently I picked contacts back up (user of them back in '01 or
around then).  I had my eyes checked again and was given contacts to
wear.  Well, after a week of wearing them, I have had some problems.
Most notably is the increased pressure around my eyes.  It's hard to
explain.  It's not quite a headache but I just feel a lot of pressure
around my eyes.  Another problem I've been having is objects really
close up, especially computer screens, look different.  The screen, for
instance, get's smaller as I look towards the bottom.  It almost looks
like my screen needs to be adjusted but I know it's my eyes.  Anyhow,
after a week, I went back to my eye doctor and shared with him my
problems.  He told me it is due to my astigmatism I have.  He did a
quick check of my eyes w/ my contact in and we discovered my vision in
my left eye wasn't that great.  So he decided to give me a toric lens
in my left eye.  I wish I could give you the strengths, but he didn't
let me know and I didn't ask.  So, my question is...given the problems
I had does the toric lens sound like a good solution?  The reason I ask
is I can deal w/ the decreased vision in my left eye.  I just want to
get rid of the pressure around my eyes.  That's more important to me.
The whole computer screen thing I can deal with as well.
