My bf has very high astigmatism like 450 or so.
He has heard that people said there is some sort of contact lens to keep the astig power from getting higher or can even make your eyes better or something.

His power is too high so can't do much about it other than laser. Don't even have ready made contacts for him.

same here, 300+ on my right and 400+ on my left eye...And for me astig is the only problem...Born with it I guess since my twin has astig as well, but at lower power together with another condition.

No contact lenses cry.gif And i hate wearing spectacles...I somehow manage without my specs, coz I'm used to to the vision...Only wear my specs when its really bad tongue.gif

I tink you should wear specs as without ur specs, ur eyes will be doing more work and more harm or damage will be done to your eyes. Plus, it would cost more if astig power increases...

Well my specs already costs me a bomb right now biggrin.gif Spectacles hurts the side bones of my nose and creates this annoying mark on the sides of my nose sad.gif But I've been having bad and frequent headaches of late, perhaps due to the excessive straining of my eyes cry.gif
