They were supposed to be weighted so if you didn't quite get it right they would gradually work into the right orientation. However, never worked for me, and if they weren't aligned perfectly everything looked to be on a slant
They were not good for most things, but terrible for snooker. So bottom line, it probably depends to some degree on what correction or problem you haveMy last eye test 18 months ago the astigmatism is slightly worse than the above but this is the spec that i've been using for about the past fifteen years and it's still very good for me.
I don't wear them that much, snooker being one of the times i actually do and i don't normally wear them for more than 4 hours a day.
Reading small print my naked eye is actually better as i'm short sighted, if i can't read something small with the lenses in i can just slip the lens down to read the print, never actually needed to do that though.
