Help! I Just Got Contacts, But Things Are Still Blurry?

I just got contacts about a week ago and my vision is clearer than without them, but sometimes I feel like things are uneven or my vision goes blurry when I blink. I have astigmatism in my right eye, but I thought wearing contacts (toric kinds for the right) would keep this from happening? Do I need a stronger prescription or something?
What Are Some Things I Need To Consider Before Deciding To Wear Eye Contacts?

I already know I need to consider the financial aspects of it.
I been back to having glasses for a year. If I were to get contacts, my glasses would still be the main eyewear, but like to have contacts for when glasses are not practical and very special occasions.
In case anyone was wondering about my eyes, I have astigmatism and considered far-sighted, my right eye is slightly crossed, I managed to pass the driver vision test with no glasses. I don’t see bluriness most the time, and when I do, is very slight amount of blur.
I pretty much get along without glasses, but want to wear them while my eyesight is not too bad off so it doesn’t get worse.
Thanks for any input.
Astigmatism Prescription – Can Incorrect Cyl #s Make Things Appear Closer Than They Actually Are?

I got a new eye exam and new prescription glasses. I am not nearsided nor farsided, I only have an astigmatism. 5 years ago, my eye exam was: R: plano, -1.00, 180, L: plano, -0.75, 172. Now, the doctor tested me and came up with:
R: plo, -1.25, 176, Left: plo, -1.00, 168.
I know astigmatism can worsen and rotate, however, my new prescription makes things magnified (appear closer than they actually are). My old glasses did NOT do that. When I got my new glasses, I couldn’t even put my key into my car door! this is not just the fishbowl effect, it’s a physical distortion. I’m worried the CYL numbers are too strong and should be closer to what my old numbers were. I believe I still see 20/20 through my old glasses. I only want things to be clearer, not closer! Please tell me if there’s any justification to what’s happening. I complained to the doctor, but he didn’t retest me with my old glasses on and he said I would have to “get used it”. I’m in disagreement. Please help

I got contacts today and she just told me today that astigmatism.
I told the DR. and she said that i cant get contacts for astigmatism. So, will my blurriness and dizziness get better as i wear my contacts?
