The first thing you need to do is make an appointment at an optician's for a contacts lens fitting, they will look at & check your eyes and make sure they are OK for contacts, determine your prescription, determine which brand & type of contacts will work best for your needs and show you how to put them in/out, clean them, explain all you need to know, etc, etc so you don't wind up trashing your eyes. They will give you some trial ones to see if they work for you (sometimes you need to try 2 or 3 brands/type to get ones that work for you). In the US and many other countries, by law, you must have a valid prescription for contacts, even the ones that just change eye color, so chances are you aren't going to be able to just order some on-line, even if you could, you wouldn't know the right prescription (usually not the same as your glasses prescription!). Because of your astigmatism, you'll probably need the toric ones and, depending on what your prescription is, you might actually be able to see better with glasses than contacts.
Added:
Of course, once you have a valid prescription, you can order contacts on-line if you prefer.
Im pretty sure you have to order contacts for astig and yes they have various colors as for your eyes blinking and jumping you will get used to the contacts and your eyes will stop doing that. Good Luck!
