Daily toric lenses

    I recently ordered contact lenses for the first time and I asked for daily disposable lenses but the girl said they don't have toric dailies so I bought monthlies.

    I've looked at a few contact lens websites (though, admittedly, struggled since I'm on a phone) and I haven't found any daily torics. Am I just not looking hard enough or do they not exist?

    They do exist but in quite a narrow prescription range so it is possible they don't come in your power.

    Thanks for replying.

    I forgot that's exactly what they told me :o Oops

    This is my prescription.

    I'm not in Ireland now and they don't really deal with contact lenses much here (more of a glasses or laser eye place). Do you know if I'd be able to get them online in that power? Or in shops in Ireland?

    I don't really mind wearing glasses and I was only going to wear contacts on some days where glasses are inconvenient. I don't think I can afford to keep buying monthlies to wear them 8 or 10 times a month :(

    Thank you. I can't get the exact same prescription :(

    I think I'll just leave it. At those prices, around 120 dailies work out more expensive than 12 single monthlies here anyway :p

    The monthly ones seem to be better than the daily disposables
