There are lots of possibilities.
It depends where that "double vision" is coming from.

If it's from the lenses decentering, or not having large enough optical zones, or the toric soft lenses rotating and mis-delivering their corrections, then that should be apparent with each eye singly.
There different contacts lenses may help, the type depending on which cause applies.
(the synergeyes hard lens with a soft skirt might be an option)

If the double vision is only apparent with both eyes open, that would raise a different set of possibilities, and a contact lens solution would be less obvious.
It needs the data from a full eye examination, particularly as to binocular status, to comment much further.

A competent practitioner should at least be able to determine where the problem is, though that doesn't always throw up an instant answer.

There are soft contacts that correct astigmatism. However, I was told that the only type of lens that would correct double vision would be prism lenses - only available in glasses. I was seeing an eye specialist at the time at a teaching hospital in TX so I would imagine that to be true. Turns out, medication was my main culprit so my double vision is much better. Only occurs when I'm extremely tired.

Go see your ophthalmologist please. And get rid of the contacts. Just get some cool glasses.
