Answer 3

Yes.  Freshlook does have contacts, but it's VERY limited in the colors you can choose.

Answer 4

I have 4 different colors and I have astigmatism. After my eye exam, I let the doctor know that I DEFINITELY wanted colored (soft) contacts. They are relatively new, but I know there are a few companies that sell these.

Answer 5

As long as the colored lens is a toric lens, then yes.  Your astigmatism just means that your cornea is mis-shapen, and that is what affects your vision.  The addition of color to a lens should not matter.  I've never heard that it does.
