Lauri S	welcome to my world. lol. First, w/ your cyl. I'd wear my glasses all the time... if you don't like the frame, find a style that fits your personality and lifestyle. Gas permeable contacts work best w/ astigmatism, I'm afraid as much cyl as you have, you'll find the lens shifting off axis w/ most soft lenses. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

remi_jo	You may need to try another brand. I have astigmatism also and when my eye doctor tried me with the Accuuvue lenes my eyes twitched like crazy. What type of lenses are they? I have to wear toric or lenes made for astigmatism. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lacey B.	try the hydraclear stuff. like one the commercials. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

vampire_kitti	If none of those were comfortable there is really nothing else. That's crazy that you went through all the cooper vision lenses and not one fit. Not everyone with astigmatism can wear contacts and your astigmatism is kind of up there. You could try hard lenses from there if you really want contacts. It would be best to talk to your doctor about the options that are still available, hard lenses don't work for everyone either. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
