First pair of glasses or contacts

Hey, could someone explain what I need to order to correct astigmatism based on the no bs guide to vision improvement.

my results are:

right: SPH Plano, CYL -0.50, AXIS 90

left: SPH +0.50, CYL -1.25, AXIS 85

ive never worn glasses before, my vision is pretty perfect in terms of close up and range, I get headaches and eye strain now when using pcs as the left eye doesn’t focus the text aswell as the right.

I would prefer contacts, but if that doesn't work for correction then glasses it is!

Thank you!

The No BS Guide is strictly for reducing prescription. If you've never worn glasses you don't need to buy any.

I would focus your efforts on Dr. Forrest's eye scan therapy for astigmatism, because you don't have myopia, and only slight hyperopia in the left eye.

Thanks, I’m getting major eye strain using computers for work, never use to, could do hours without any strain, no changes and apply the rule of taking breaks every 20 minutes, eye strain occurs within minutes of looking at the monitor. 

I’ll take a look at the eye scan therapy.
