Do AA for A Contacts Come in Only One Size?

I heard from an eye doctor that Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism contacts only come in one size, is that correct? So if you put in your new AA for A contacts and they don't fit, then what? Does it ever happen that a person put in the contacts and it seems like they don't fit, but really it's just that they're not used to wearing toric lenses? If that's the case, will they "fit better" after the person gets uses to wearing them? What if it really is a bad fit, can anything be done? Can a contact lens be "adjusted" at the doctor's office to provide a more comfortable fit? Finally, in my long list of questions, what if your AA for A contacts just don't fit in that size? Are there other contacts that are similar that a person could wear instead of the Acuvue Advance?

That is true, they only come in one diameter and base curve. If they dont fit, then you need another brand of lens. And no, they wont fit better with time. Usually 1 day is sufficient to know. There are a number of other toric contacts available. See your doctor for advice or try another office if you dont get satisfaction.

Okay, Eyebike. That sounds like a good plan. Thank you.
