I have astigmatism and toric lenses never worked well for me. I could feel them rotate in my eye and they would never settle perfectly. This was back in 2006, though. And they weren't bad contacts either, they were ordered from Switzerland, allegedly custom made etc. I tried for a few weeks, they never worked well. Every ten blinks or so I'd get blurry vision.

You should try again, I've been wearing them since before that time, and they are much better now than they used to be.

Probably just need a fitting with a different brand.

A lot of times your local distributor doesn't carry many of the astigmatic lenses because they can sit on the shelf for a while (it can 100x the available combinations) so they special order. I doubt they're specially manufactured per order for soft lenses.

Mass produced torics are available up to -8 power. I'd try them again to take advantage of modern design and fabrication improvements.
