I have astigmatism, but it hurts to wear contacts designed for it?!
Question: I can wear normal contacts. well, the kind that aren't designed for astigmatism and I'm barely aware they're there, I just don't see as well as I could.
But when I wear the ones that are, my eyes feel heavy, dry out, and they kind of stay in one place instead of moving with my eyes. The contacts stick to my eyes like leeches and are near impossible to peel off, even with eye drops and whatnot.
This is after the eye doctor has put them in or supervised me putting them in, I barely last the rest of the day with them.
Anyway to fix this, or is it just because of the astigmatism?

Your toric lenses, the ones for astigmatism, are not the right base curve for you.
They are fitting way too tight. Go back to the place you got them from and let them see how they are fitting.
It might be that pair of contacts. If you have another pair to wear, try those. I had the same problem but I wear them that are for astigmatism. Good luck.
Anyway wht brand of contacts u r using? Soflen Toric is a good toric lenses. No problem at all.
