Contact lenses are blurry? Doctor gave wrong prescription?

Contact lenses are blurry? Doctor gave wrong prescription?
Added (1). I wanted contacts but the clinic I go to was not allowed to do it there so they gave me a prescription for eyeglasses. I could see ok at the end of the exam. I have an astigmatism. I was given the prescription for left eye, sphere -1.00, cylinder -1.75, axis 085 and right eye was sphere -1.50 cylinder -1.50 axis 115.
Added (2). I went to another clinic after to receive an exam specifically for contacts. I felt like my vision was slighty blurry at the end of the exam and i tried on some contacts. Acuve oasys brand. They were blurry and after an hour of wearing them i had to take them out from a headache. Yes I told the doctor multiple times about the blurry vision.
Added (3). I was told it was because they did not have an exact trial match in my prescription. Being told this, I ordered some and after waiting 6 weeks to get them they are blurry. I had contacts years ago and my vision was excellent even better than any glasses i did have a different brand, air optix. I am not even sure which box of contacts goes with which eye, but they are both blurry, the boxes say -1.50, -1.25 120 and -1.25 -1.25 090.
Added (4). Would it be a waste of money to go back to the doctor i received the contacts from? They did not seem competent to me. Or is there just not an exact match avaible for me? I have already went to too clinics and I just want contacts because I had excellent vision when i had good ones a few years ago. When i put them in at the clinic years ago, after a minute of wearing them i had excellent vision and nothing was blurry.

To go up or down.25 on my contact script?

I have a prescription of -7.25 but the colored lenses only come in -7.00 and -7.50. I have had this issue in the past but can not recall if my doctor told me to go higher or lower the.25. Does anyone else have this issue and what do you do? Thanks. I would call my doctor, but I am looking for a new doctor at the moment.

Toric circle lenses from pinky paradise?

So I ordered some and they are the correct base curve, axis, prescription, everything. They are super comfortable and I love them so much. But I am having trouble with the one on the right eye slipping in and out of focus. I have to readjust it with my finger about every 5 minutes. The left one is completely fine. The problem lense is the exact same everything as my clear lenses that I have no problem with. So I am unsure why this one keeps doing that if it is exactly my bc, axis etc. Could it be defective? Dirty? What should I do?

Contacts and glasses for mild astigmatism?

I went to the optometrist a few days ago and my prescription hadn t changed except for a mild astigmatism. I usually wear contacts (but I also wear glasses at home). She said that my astigmatism is too mild to correct with contact lenses. However, I got new glasses and they re making me feel dizzy and my head kinda hurts. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Would it be better to just keep both glasses and contacts with a consistent prescription (i.e. No astigmatism correction)?

Do I need high index for my prescription?

I have a sphere of -3.75 for DV and RE and a sphere of -4.00 of DV and LE. The doctor has put lines across cylinder and axis and both the VA are 6/6.

The IPD has 68 MM and at the end the doctor has written: pl do vertex correction for C2.

I have noticed that the edges of my glasses look really thick and my eyes look small and beady when I wear them. My lens also look curved and my face kinda looks distorted because you can the see the sides of my head through the frames.

So I was wondering if I use 1.74 high index for my lens, will it reduce the thickness and make my eyes look less small? Is my myopia moderate or high?
