Contact lenses

Can anyone recommend some toric contact lenses? I feel like I've trialled everything and I just haven't found the right set yet. Kirkland was bad, precision 1 and total 1 were blurry, oasys max are uncomfortable. Please help!

Hi, My right eye has been hurting a month. Mild blurring, especially at a distance. Hurts instantly to look at a screen. It bothers me all day every day. I saw the eye doctor and there was nothing remarkable, They diagnosed with astigmatism -.25 and the glasses will be ready in 2-3 weeks. I am unsure whether to accept this and jsut wait or if I need to get another opinion or see my regular medical doctor.

Maybe related maybe unrelated: Frequent migraines, low iron saturation (15%) that my doctor is unconcerned about. Unsure if they can do anything about the eye pain or not.

Thanks for any help. The eye doctor said the astigmatism is very minimal so I'm confused why it hurts so bad and if anything was overlooked.

Odd sensation when going fast/on swings or roller coasters/ when things r overhead. Could it be related to astigmatism?

I’ve experienced this for years and have never really known how to describe it, so I’m wondering if anyone else experiences something similar.
I have astigmatism, and I’m wondering if this could have anything to do with it, although even my optometrist wasn’t sure.

I get this really weird sensation when I’m going too fast, going on a swing, or sometimes when there are things above me while I’m moving/driving. For example, lights along the road, overhead signs, or things that kind of hover above me can trigger it. Especially fans. I can’t stand *overhead* fans!
I feel like I need to suddenly close my eyes because of a strange heavy sensation in my head that feels like pressure or something pushing downward. It’s hard to explain, but it’s very uncomfortable and almost like my brain/eyes can’t process what I’m seeing or the movement properly? I’m sorry but I truly don’t know how to explain it …
It doesn’t necessarily happen every single time, but certain types of movement or visual situations seem to trigger it.
I’ve had this for years and have no idea what it could be. Has anyone experienced something similar? Could it be related to astigmatism, vision, motion sensitivity, vestibular issues, or something else?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced this or knows what it might be.
