I am using a pair of Toric Contact Lenses because i have this Astigmatism problem in my eyes, whenever im wearing it, as time passes by, i can feel a little aching around my fore-head so does having that feeling means that the lenses are functioning or working or should i say already correcting your eye vision? please help. 
Well, let’s clarify something…Your contacts are to compensate for what your eyes are lacking. They will not cure anything, only correct, so you should not be experiencing any aches as you are describing.
If this is a new pair and you are wearing them for the first time, I would suggest that you go back to your doctor and discuss this with him. You should be entitled to a follow-up visit after getting contacts anyway and it shouldn’t cost you anything.
You may want to do a bit of a home test, where you don’t put the lenses on in the morning to see if you experience this same pain in your forehead, this is mainly to eliminate the possibility of Sinus Pressure or similar.
Toric Lenses should be prescribed after trial only for that, we have to follow LARS rule so that it helps in judging axis as axis is much important in astigmatic patients.
Also, total amount of astigmatism should be calculated.
Wearing time, cleaning procedure should be maintained.
