Consultation regarding contact lenses

2018-09-28 02:38:33
I ordered contact lenses online and wore them for 2 months continously. I have cylindrical powers too but when i ordered i entered only spherical powers and used those lenses for continuous 2 months. Now i found out that i need to wear toric lenses for astigmatism as i have cylindrical powers but when i used the normal leneses, i didn't felt any kind of problem. So i need to order again and i am really confused.

Small cylindrical errors e.g. below might not need toric and usually gets corrected by spherical lenses only.
