Is this astigmatism rating high?

Left eye: -1.25 CYL, Axis: 10
Right eye: -1.25 CYL, Axis: 180

Would it be okay to order non-astigmatism coloured contacts or completely unwearable?

My contact is curling after it dried out. Will it uncurl eventually?

So basically I guess I didn't put the lid on tight enough and my contact dried out so I put solution on it and it became soft again. Though once it was soft even though it is not flipped inside out it curls in on itself and I can't put it in. Only one lens did this so I can still use the other one. The contacts are just colored contacts so there is no prescription on them. So basically just wondering if I have to do something to have it uncurl or if it will uncurl itself.

Is it safe to wear regular contacts if I have astigmatisms in both of my eyes?

I want to wear Halloween contacts but I have astigmatisms in both of my eyes. Is it safe to wear "normal contacts"? Will it hurt/damage my eyes? I have a very little prescription, and only need contacts to make things clearer. I don't care if it doesn't help with my eye sight, if it is just for Halloween.

My prescription is
Left: 8.7 14.5 +0.50 / -1.25x010
Right: 8.7 14.5 +0.25 / -0.75x180

Dry contact lense. Safe?

I bought blue contact lenses 3 months ago, normal contacts not for vision, i opened one of them to see how it looks on i liked it, then i stored it in the contacts container (the R and L) (i only stored one cauz i didn't open the other one),didn't use it for 3 months (i forgot that i have them) i opened the container i found the lense dry (like dry fruits) i don't want to throw it away (i added contacts solution to it an hour later the lense seemed good) the other lense it still in it's package and in good condition the solution is still there. Is it safe to use it? The dry lense that came back to life? I dont have dry eyes they are actually teary
Ps: English is not my first language.

Which medical plans would be good for keratoconus?

I work for JCPenney and I have until Oct. 15th to apply for medical coverage but the thing is I don't know if their insurance would cover for keratoconus treament. I ask this because I have Kaiser Permanente and some reason they don't cover keratoconus so I have pay $205 for the exam and the contact lens would be expensive as well. I was thinking of applying for Anthem because thats what ai had before when I was a child and they actually covered for my treatment although it might not be the same for me as an adult. I'm not sure if Medicaid would be best as well. So if there is any info I could get, that would great. Thanks

Is it okay to wear circle lenses slightly torn at the edge?

So i bought these soft circle contact lenses a little under a week ago, and as i was putting them in, i noticed that there was a bit missing on the very edge of the lenses.

it looked like some tiny person had bit a tiny piece off. I put them in and there was no pain at all, but the lense did move a little more than the other one, but i didnt feel any pain. In fact, when i took my lenses out, my left eye which had the undamaged lense in, was more irritated than my right one. These are circle lenses, and the missing piece is far away from my pupils and is on the clear part of the lense, the part with no colour. Is it safe to wear them still?
Added (1). The thing is, that they're not actually ripped. Its not like theres a line going down my contact lenses or anything. It literally looks like some tiny person has bit off a bit.
Added (2). They are 1 year disposable, 'geo nudy grey'

Can I use the same prescription for a different brand of contact lenses?

I got fitted and prescribed air optix for astigmatism which work amazing and keep in mind this is my first time wearing and dealing with contact lenses so I don't know much. While these are great I would prefer colored ones but they don't have air optix colors for astigmatism they do however have this brand called freshlook toric lenses for astigmatism which are colored. Would my prescription work for these? Fyi my prescription is OD b.s 8.7 Power -2.50 CYL -0.75 Axis x180 OS b.s 8.7 Power -1.50 CYL -0.75 Axis x160

Eyeliner and contact lenses?

I wear hard contact lenses and I always put eyeliner on my water line in the mornings before school. The thing is, during the day my contacts get smudged really bad and I literally can't see anything! Then when I come back home, I take off my contacts and see the black smudge on it. I use l'oreal liquid pencil eyeliner. What should I do? Put on eyeliner first and then contacts? Or vise versa?

Best answer 10 points:)
