Does this sound right for contact lenses?

Question

I ordered a pair of contact lenses today and the guy only spoke Korean, I have astigmatism and Im far sided and he gave me my reciept I paid 85$ and the prescription is both +1.00 this is the first time Ive ever ordered conacts myself so I wasnt sure.

Answer 1

Was that price for a pair of 1-year permanent lenses or disposal ones? In any case, you'll only know if you've got the right prescription when you put them on. The optician should let you do that when you go collect the lenses, since this is your first pair. He'll need to teach you how to put them on, as well as advise you on the correct way to handle them, clean them, and store them when you're not wearing them, as well as the appropriate solutions to use. If you find that your vision isn't clear when you try them on, they're not the correct prescription for you.
So don't worry, keep these in mind, and you will be able to get them sorted when you go collect the lenses. Remember not to accept the lenses if they're the wrong prescription and insist on replacements with the correct one.
Good luck.

Answer 2

It does sound about right, my contatcs have the same prescription left and right too. But if you are not completely sure maybe you can have your eyes tested at a second place too (preferably where they do speak English?). if the lenses arrive make sure you try them and if you cant see properly, go back the first week. But it may all turn out right.

Answer 3

Yeah if you are far sided you should be in the positive. And if you get contacts for astigmatism they are usually more expensive. (about $20-$40 a box my eye doctor told me) I have astigmatism too. I am near sided and I am at -5.0 and -4.75. I have insurance so my contacts were only like $25
