Options for contacts when I have an astigmatism?

Question

I have been attempting to wear contacts for the last 2 weeks. I have an astigmatism on my left eye. The contact for my right eye has fit perfectly as soon as I put it on. The contact for my left eye has not. First I tried Acuvue Oasys and then Acuvue Advance both for astigmatism. I couldn't stand the Oasys because it felt as if I had something in my eye. The Advance are more comfortable but it is blurry on the left edge. My eye doctor said there is only 1 more kind I can try for the left eye and he doubts I will find them comfortable. Is there no hope? I just can't believe there are only 3 different ones I can try. Is the blurriness normal?

Answer 1

There are very many more than three....you just may need a more specific and possibly even a custom fit.  You may wish to look for a doctor in your area with special interest in contact lenses.  Check with your state optometric association or the American Optometric Association to find one.
