Answers:
Yes, they do make them!. Some people have more astigmatism than others!. It just depends on how much you have and what type of lenses you would need to wear!. When you get fitted for contact lenses you need to be patient!. It is a fitting process, especially for toric lenses!. Most doctors with give you sample pairs to make sure they are fitting correctly before you purchase a year supply!. Talk to your doctor again but make sure you understand that it is a process!.!.!.!.!.I work for an eye doctor!. This is how I know!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes!.!.!.they have developed toric lenses which basically are made to fit the shape of your astygmatism!. I would ask your eye doctor again!. I have an astygmatism and although they have contacts for it, I can't wear them!. in dim light my pupils dilate beyond the prescription area of the contact and things get blurry!.!.!.!.so you may or may not be able to wear them but it's worth giving it a try and most eye doctors will give you a trial pair just to see if you can!.

Back then they didn't have the materials to make soft lenses (conventional or disposables), so the only option would have been hard lenses!. Now they can do toric lenses in all materials!. They are alot more expensive than those for near and far sighted lenses!. (My disposables cost $210AUD for 6 months one eye $80 for the other, convntional pair $400+)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Do you mean astigmatism!? If you do then yeah you can wear contacts!. I have astigmatism and my eye doctor prescribed me some toric contacts which supposedly are made specially for people with astigmatism!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've had astygmatism for years and have worn contact lenses!. I believe they're called "toric" lenses, but you should be able to wear SOME kind of lenses nowadays!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
