Dear Doc,

My question is can I wear lenses with those parameters for most of time??? and do such lenses with these degrees exist?where can I find them without travel.. I mean by shipping them to my country through DHL..

Please I wanna see my fiance without glasses.
My best,
Mervat

There are several brands of disposable toric contacts that come in your power, including Vertex Toric XR, Proclear Toric XR, and Frequency 55 Toric XR.  In addition, rigid gas permeable (hard) contacts might work for you, too.  These lenses MUST be fitted by an eye care professional, who can determine the lens, base curve, and power which would work best for you.  You absolutely cannot/should not order contacts online without a professional fitting--a poorly fitted contact can damage your corneas.  See an eye care professional in Yemen who prescribes contact lenses.
