Can Contact Lens With An Axis Of 160 Be Used For Astigmatism?

Hi. I am trying to purchase contacts online for astigmatism. My axis on my right eye is 180 and the axis for my left eye is 170. The contacts I am interested in only provide an axis of 180 and 160, will the contacts bother my eyes if I decide to purchase the contacts with an axis of 160 as oppose to 170?

better to pur purchase the lens locally from your known optician. in case you face any problem you can go back to him with lens for change or assistance.
