Are Contact Lenses Supposed To Make Everything Look Closer/bigger?

I used to wear contacts, for about a year and I eventually stoped because they gave me terrible migraines and headaches. Then I started wearing my glasses for about another year and I got absolutely no headaches or anything! But glasses are really annoying so I recently started wearing contacts again, and I’m starting to think that I got those terrible headaches and such because they make everything look closer and bigger. My eye doctor also said that is probably why. He gave me contact lenses to correct my astigmatism, but everything still looks the same. Is there any type of contacts or way that I can make everything look the way it does when I’m wearing my glasses? In other words, are contacts supposed to make everything look bigger/closer? Or are there contacts that make everything look normal, like when I’m wearing my glasses?

Do Colorblend Toric And Regular Freshlooks Colorblends Look The Same?

I currently wear the clear toric and find them thicker than the regular (non-toric) lenses. Years ago, I used to wear regular Freshlook colorblends. I really want to start using color contacts again, but I now have the astigmatism problem. Do the Toric coloblends look the same as the regular colorblends? or can you notice the thinkness of the toric? I really dont want to spend the money if I am not going to like them (torics are more expensive)

How Can I Make My Eyes Look Darker?

I can’t use contacts, because I’ve already got prescription contacts and my astigmatism is too bad for colored prescription lenses. I have no money for surgical implants. I do not wish to sit in front of a candle wishing my eyes darker.
Basically, I’ve got hazel green eyes and I’ve always wanted brown-black eyes like everyone in my family. Is there a makeup tip or something to make my eyes look as dark as I can get them to? Unless somebody knows of something that might actually make them darker without blinding me or trying to make me do voodoo?

Optician Says Contact Lenses Will Look ‘too Blurry’?

I have mild long-sightedness (just +0.50/+0.50) and slight astigmatism -0.5 in each eye.
I wear my glasses nearly all day as I work on computers and also need them to read music, books and to write essays etc; otherwise I get headaches and eyestrain. I found out that contact lenses are available in my current prescription, and like the idea of not needing my glasses.
So I went to the contact lens fitting guy, (not an optician) who said that without the astigmatism correction there would only be a mild prescription, and that they couldn’t correct my vision as sharply as my glasses do- the contact lenses “would be blurry”?
He said he could only help if my prescription was stronger, and suggested a new eye-test as my prescription was probably out of date.
Should I get a second opinion, or get another test to see if my vision is any worse?
Thanks

Do Glasses Correcting Astigmatism Distort The Way Your Eyes Look?

Just curious if it makes your eyes look blurred or anything. Also, I was told I have really mild astigmatism and near perfect distance vision, but I got glasses though the doctor said I didn’t need to if I didn’t want to. My prescription states -.25 sph/ -.25 x60, and -.25 sph/ -.25 x100. All signs while driving looked blurry, but with the glasses look much clearer. Is it possible that my astigmatism is worse than the doctor thought? By looking at the prescription #s, is one eye worse than the other? I’m new to wearing glasses so I don’t know much about it. thanx.
