What to do if i have astigmatism, can i use the regular contact lenses?

Maybe: If you have 1 diopter or less of astigmatism, you can wear regular contact lenses and see well. If you have more than this, then toric lenses (the ones that correct astigmatism) may be better. Try both types when you have your contact lens fitting.
