A member asked:
How much degree of astigmatism is ignorable? i have -0.50 cyl, ax 111 in right and -0.50 cyl, ax 92 in left. should i get correction for this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cyl: For most folks, 0.5 cyl does not affect vision. Rarely, a person will see better if this amount is corrected. For a contact lens wearer, this amount of cyl is usually ignored...
