one more thought kind of outside the box, but this is what worked for me. I have a high astigmatism as well. Higher than yours. Tried progressives and they made me want to puke. I wear contact lenses for distance (custom, not off the shelf, due to astigmatism) and regular reading glasses for closer. I do not need the readers for computer work.

Your problem is progressive lenses, get some conservative glasses. Wink

Excellent option and I have plenty of patients that do exactly that. Depending on the original posters age and situation, this may be an option. Another option is fix the astigmatism via cataract surgery.

Plenty of options here Smile
