I planning on asking my doctor if I can order circle lenses (these colored contacts) and apparently it's not for people who have bad astigmatism. I think (according to my contact box) that my astigmatism is -1.75 for both eyes, is that really bad? The way to find out my astigmatism is to look at the CYL part right?

no i don't think it is, but am not positive.

"Bad" is a poor term used.

I would say that my vision is "bad" but its nothing compared to some people who are at -8.0.
