Sooo, for those of you guys who have astigmatism and wear contacts, what brand of contacts do you wear?
I use Acuvue for Astigmatism but I don't like how it's so thick, so I'm going to ask my optometrist if I can switch to another brand.

Bausch & Lomb in toric. It's really thin compared to the others I've tried. I hate having astigmatism; contacts cost more for me. tongue2.gif

^ OMFG $400?! O_O That's so much...I have astigmatism but my lenses are no where near that much. I wear Bausch and Lomb PureVision Toric. I don't recommend you getting these; they're really thick. If you have a Costco nearby, you should definitely get your contacts there. I think I got mine for about $50? I am not sure, but they were definitely less than $100.

I use Focus Torics (they're monthlys). Yea Costco is incredibly cheap! It's almost 50% cheaper than online places. I think 1 box of mine (6 contacts, half a year's supply) cost about $70.

I use Coopervision Toric. I got them at Costco as well but I don't remember the price. They're monthlys btw. I think they're ok, but my eyes do dry up rather quickly.

O_O If you have astigmatism you have to get toric lenses or your astigmatism is going to get worse. Your optometrist is suppose to only give you a prescription for toric lenses if you have astigmatism.

wow, that was my exact same situation.
(except my contacts cost around .. err $180? can't remember).
i do believe i was using the same brand as you though.
my problem was that they dried out so fast; i kept running out of eyedrops -___-;;
i wanted colored lenses too but my doctor said,
"that's going to be reaaaally expensive .. so i don't think you should .."
hahah .. damn astigmatism. DX
what you say doesn't fit with my reality
and what doesn't fit with my reality doesn't exist.

I actually find Acuvue for Astigmatism to be very thin compared to the ones I used to wear (B&L Soflens 66). They don't dry up like Soflens did and I often forget that I'm wearing contacts.

i used to use bausch and lomb softlens toric 66 (2 weeks disposable ones) but now i use 1 day acuvue for astigmatism. the acuvue one costs a lot more though.
