About 10 years ago I went to the eye doctor, and got fitted for contact lenses. I have astigmatism, so I was fitted with soft toric lenses that are weighted on one side. After about six months, I ended up just going back to glasses.
I am a network technician by trade. Frequently this requires me to look under desks, or perform other tasks in which my head is rotated to peer under furniture or something similar. As soon as my head was not perfectly straight, gravity caused my weighted lenses to rotate which made my vision go out of focus.
My (then) eye doctor told me there really wasn’t a fix for the issue. That was a decade ago. I am curious if they now have developed lenses for people with astigmatism that don’t have that problem.

Is there any other kind of contact Lens that I can use besides that? Ive worn that brand for 10 years now, but Im wondering if there is anything more comfortable. I thought I would get some suggestions before going to the eye doctor so I can ask him about them.

I am far-sighted. I see distances great, but words in books look like lines of smudge to me until I put on glasses. I also have astigmatism. I’ve heard and read that Lasik is best only for near-sighted people and is contra-indicated for both far-sightedness and astigmatism. I would like to hear from people who have had lasik for these conditions or work in the industry who would have knowledge about this. Any pointers to credible references would be appreciated!
Also, I’ve seen too many upbeat advertisements and too little real information so I don’t know what to think. I’ve heard Lasik is great from some people (near-sighted people) but I am a little nervous considering the ads on radio who advertisements sound like, "We’ll do one eye for 9 and you get the second one FREE! But only for a limited time! Call now to get this special deal! You’ll be happy! Eye guarantee it!"
You know what I mean?
I have a few years to go before I’m 40. I’ve been wearing glasses for almost 10 years and have been told by both an ophthalmologist and my optometrist that I’m farsighted. Haven’t seen the ophthalmologist in a while – I just go in and get the optometrist to check me for my yearly checkup and prescription. Eyesight is getting worse each time, but not alarmingly so.

I have been wearing contacts for about 10 years and within the last few years I have been having troubles with finding comfortable ones. I have astigmatism and dry eyes. I was wondering about the Acuvue Advance lenses that are suppose to be moisture rich and help with astigmatism. I would like some feed back from people who wear these and what opinions of them are.
