I have astigmastisms too and i wear Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism. I am suppose to switch them out every 2 weeks but the contact lens specialist at my eye doctor said that if I use CLEAR CARE (preservative free) solution for my saline and I can actually wear a pair of lens for 4 weeks instead. Just don't squirt the stuff in your eye because it will burn!!! I love my contacts and these are the best brand so far for my eyes. A little pricy but thats what happens when you have an astigmatism! also I used to be able to wear regular contacts when my astigmatism wasnt this bad so maybe you could talk to your eye doctor about that. Good LucK!!!

Your eye doctor should have eye drop samples as well. Blink is a good one, but they get pricey so it'd be good to sample a few first before you commit to a bottle :-)

I wear Acuve 2... you are supposed to change them every two weeks... I push them to 4 and the $100 lasts me the whole year.

THIS!
I wear the 2 week ones and make them last a month. Sometimes more because I forget to toss them, when my eyes start to bother me I remember that I need to change them.

if you go to acuvue.com they have a tool called acuminder and it will send you an email or text when it is time to change them and even a reminder that it is almost time for you eye appt
