I was wearing Acuvue Advanced for Astigmatism and they discontinued that line.
I switched to the Oasys line but they did not agree with my eyes.
Have been wearing Biofinity Toric for about 4-5 years now. Good results. I actually went with a regular Biofinity this last time in my left eye because my astigmatism was borderline not needed. No issues.

They have progressive contacts. I use them frequently. I can read great with them but I can't see far away as well as my glasses.

I have moderate astigmatism in one eye and severe in the other. When I started wearing contacts in high school, I had to use the semi rigid as they were the only ones that could correct astigmatism. Those were a pain in the arse to deal with and could be painful.
When the Biofinity Toric lenses came out they were a godsend as they are so easy to wear compared to the semi rigid.
For me, contacts have always been on par with glasses if not better in terms of vision. I play alot of tennis and I definitely don't see the ball as well with glasses.
PS Best place to buy them are from Costco if you already have a membership.

I have severe in both eyes. Struggled my whole life with soft lenses. Switched to gas perms 3-4 years ago and it was the best decision of my life

Well damn I just bought 8 boxes wonder why I wasn't given progressive lenses as an option?

I wear an XD model of contact for my left eye, it helps. It is also custom order and expensive so there is that. I would make sure that you have a solid eye insurance plan before indulging in them. one XD eye box is around $400.
But if you have some serious astigmatism, then don't expect a massive change.
Biofinity XD is the make, and i've used it for over a decade.

I’m on 4 teams and tennis is a big reason why I can’t wear contacts. My ophthalmologist is also a tennis player and strongly advised against contacts with my astigmatism on the court. Besides the major depth perception issues I had, sweat/sunscreen running into my eyes, contact movement during play and actually losing a contact in the middle of a game made glasses a much better option for me. I wear Rx amber lense Costas during daylight and clear, anti-fog, anti-glare lense glasses are night or indoor.

Contact lenses for astigmatism

I have a stigmatism in my right eye that's screwed my vision so badly that a progressive lens for that side makes my glasses look lopsided.
I have contacts (the strongest they make for the right eye) but due to the stigmatism they are for mid-range to distance, I need reading glasses for clarity on anything beyond arm-and-a-half length.

This is what both myself and my wife wear for astigmatism. I’ve been wearing them damn near close to 10 years now without any issues.

I wear Biofinity Toric's for an astigmatism. Have been for years and they are fine.

I wear them and haven't had any issues.

Astigmatism contacts since 1995.
Never had any issue with them.
One eye is astigmatism and one is not. I cannot tell the difference in contacts or feeling.

Great info here. I’m gonna give them a shot. Will talk to ophthalmologist. My left is fine and my right is the culprit so had to wear two different ones which may be why I was sensitive to the difference between the two.
Thanks all

I just "qualified" to be fitted with a larger lens for an astigmatism in my right eye for the first time. Left eye still has a normal lens.
I honestly can't tell a difference and have no idea what an astigmatism even is. I guess it's the shape of my eye?
Anyhow, everything is fine and I would have never known about it except for this lens being about 20% larger.
