OK then that CL is for the right eye, and the axis on it should be about
40 + or - 10 degrees or so, no? He is overcorrecting your astigmatism,
with which I disagree.

I'm wondering if you wouldn't be happier with a pair of glasses:

R + 1.75 - 1.50 x 40
L + 0.25 - 0.25 x 150

add +2.25

in some kind of bifocal, trifocal or progressive. Why would you want to
mess with contacts?

If you really want to be free of glasses, you might try a
+2.50 - 1.25 x 40 or so toric soft lens
on that right eye, for a decent monovision deal, unless the corrected
acuity on either eye is not up to par (20/20 or close to it), in which
case don't bother.

eye. I last used my contact in October. I wore it infrequently for the
last three years. It just doesn't help my vision. I have 20/20 vision
in the left eye. I am heavily dependent on OTC reading glasses (I have
IOLs in both eyes).

I plan to try the contact again sometime in the next few months. I have
glasses.

My cataract surgeries were five years apart. I used contacts in
between. I was plano in the right eye, and -10 in the left. Glasses
were not a plan.

I'm very puzzled as to why you would try it. It's not going to help,
and might make things worse.

But now they should be. If you've only got one good eye, you need to
protect it with a good pair of general wear glasses. Preferably in Trivex.

You cannot affort to loose you left eye to an accident. Contacts should
not be a plan.

Contacts are not really a plan, just to try again. I should wear
glasses, but I don't.

I watched a demonstration on the campus I used to work at a few years
ago. They were going to demolish some tvs. They were huge old clunkers
and the students had some sledge hammers. I was horrified. One student
(who I knew) wore lab glasses. The others had no glasses.

Here's the new plan: Throw out the contacts, case and all solutions,

and never think about them again. And get a nice pair of Trivex lenses,
either in a ft-28 bifocal or an ECP progressive, and wear them full time.

Can you imagine getting into a car wreck with all that glass flying and
having your only good eye unprotected? Gives me the creeps just
thinking that you are. Think of it like having unprotected sex with the
campus tramp. You might not catch something, but why risk it?
