What brand/models of contacts ended up working well with your astigmatism? I find that one of my eyes has issues with the contact losing alignment too frequently, and so I’m always looking for other options. Thanks!

I've been wearing lenses since the 90s. These days I wear 1-Day Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism for the most part, released in 2006, and they continue to be my overall favorite.

I keep trying newer lens technologies as they come out, but mostly it's been a bust. However I do also like Precision1 for Astigmatism water gradient lenses, which came out in 2021. They are thicker and more stable overall, with slightly higher vision quality, but prone to drying up if I don't blink.

Occasionally for a change I'll wear Acuvue Oasys 1-Day for Astigmatism, which came out in 2017.

All three work well for me but the Acuvue Moist are the ones I tend to reach for the most often. It depends a lot on the individual and the fit, I think.

I do have some astigmatism so I'll keep this in mind.
