Are astigmatism specific lenses worth it for mild astigmatism -1.0
I am nearsighted and looking into contact lenses. I’ve done a trail set of the regular daily acuvue osays hydraluxe - without the astigmatism.
I am wondering if the astigmatism lenses would be worth it if for -1 cylinder for my left eye.
My right eye is -.5 cylinder and I was told it wouldn’t be necessary to have the astigmatism lenses for that eye, so it would only be for my left.
Would it make a significant difference at that mild of an astigmatism? Especially as it costs quite a bit more ?
This might be subjective but I appreciate if anyone has any insight or knowledge they can share!
