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!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

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!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
