mjkgquilt,
No problem with the spelling, for I know what you are trying to say.
I think when you mentioned the "flexible" lenses my guess is you are referring to what was commonly called "soft" lenses as opposed to the "hard" or gas permeable lenses. I have astigmatism to the extreme in both eyes, left eye more so than right and had to wear a Toric contact lens in that eye. I could not wear the soft lenses at all, and did try them at one time, when the astigmatism was borderline and before it became so bad, but they did indeed make me nauseous. Nausea is not something I could tend with and was so glad to get back into the gas permeable. Now that I am WAY past 40 I have gone to glasses and will be a long time yet before needing cataract surgery.
