Hi, My son is 12 and plays golf. He has to wear contact lenses when he plays tournaments as glasses affect depth perception. He only wears it on course. We got him daily disposables which he uses about once a week or so. And in tournaments. He was using thyrox lenses with his exact prescription -1.75, cyl. 0.75, axis 90. However this time the optician gave us a different brand of contact lenses which she says are not torric and that they will be more comfortable. When I checked it, the power has been rounded off to 2.00. When I questioned them, they said it?s the same as -1.75 and the cylinder. Is this correct? Can I use these lenses? Or should I go back to torric lenses with the exact power and cyl.
