sick of astigmatism (soft torics)

short@short.com21 Jun 2006 21:15
Just got my frequency 55 soft toric trial contacts after two weeks. Again,
they are Frequency 55's, which I really hate. I wore contacts several years
ago, and it took several tries to "get it right."

I haven't worn them for about 4 years. I went to Eyeland and my prescription
was:

Right Eye: -4.25 x -3.25 x 020
Left Eye:  -4.50  x -2.75 x 155

I got those trial contacts and they were bad. The left eye felt good but the
right eye didn't seem to fit right and had frequent blurriness. I wasn't
happy with Eyeland so I went to America's Best about three months later.

My prescription was:

Right Eye: -4.00 -3.75 x 025
Left Eye: -4.25 -3.25 x 155

So, which prescription is right? Why the change after just 3 months? After
two weeks I got my trial contacts and at first they seem better than
Eyeland's first attempt. The right eye seemed a bit clearer and feels better
in my eye. But... after awhile stills get blurry and out of focus far too
often especially at longer ranges. No matter who fits my contacts, it feels
like the right eye is always messed up, as if there's a blurry film over my
vision. The left eye doesn't feel as sharp as it did with Eyeland's trial
pair, but again, better than my right eye which causes the problem. Also, as
with the other contacts, even with two eyes, if i'm seeing clearly it's just
a matter of time before everything gets blurry for a second or two before I
have to blink many times to clear it up. what's the problem? are they not
staying in place? what can they adjust if my prescription is correct? is
there another brand other than frequency 55 that i can use?

i have to schedule another appointment for the doctor to check my vision and
make an adjustment. i'm sick of this.
