Summary: conclusions


	There seems to be a diversity of experiences with contact
lens for astigmatism.  I think the key was given in one article.
It mentioned that there were two types of astigmatism, lenticular
and corneal.  I have no idea which flavor of astigmatism I have,
and most people probably don't.  If we could ask our eye docs.,
we might find that everyone who has had trouble is a "lenticular",
and everyone who has had success is a "corneal".  Also, there seem
to be some real erratic diagnoses.  Some second opinions might be
in order.  As Joe Bob Briggs would say in net.movies: Check it out!
