I want colored contacts, but my doctors told me it doesn’t work with my prescription. 
Why not?

The only manufacturer of colored lenses for astigmatism is Freshlook, but the powers available in them are very limited.
Your prescription probably doesn’t fall within the range that is available.
There are also custom made Durasoft 3 lenses, which are not disposables, and cost about $350.00 and take up to 3 months to get made. Then if one tears after 3 months, you are out of luck…and they do tear easy.
Very few places even want to sell those anymore . They aren’t a very healthy lens to wear being as they aren’t disposable.
Sorry , in most cases , people with astigmatism have to settle for the beautiful eyes nature gave them.
There are color contact lenses available for people with astigmatism, in both soft and hard contact lens styles, but your prescription may be too strong, or you may have other complications which would restrict you from being able to wear them.
