Need Help For Toric Contact Lenses..please…anyone..?

My glasses prescription is R: -4.00/-1.00×160
L: -5.00/-1.00×20
The optometrist suggested me wearing toric contact lenses with
R: -3.75/-0.75×160
L: -4.75/-0.75×20
since -1.00cyl is not in the contact lens range.
.She said my sph needed to be reduced 0.25 because contact lens is much closer to the eye. But,since the cyl for both eyes are reduced 0.25 too,based on my experience,the sph for both eyes should be increased to cover the astigmatism.
Even in the previous non-toric contact lens prescription, the optometrist added just another 0.25 to my sph to cover the -1.00 cyl.
But,it didn’t turn out well.
so,this time,I’m not sure with her prescription. I think it should be R: -4.00/-0.75×160
L: -5.00/-0.75×20
what do you think?…help please…I’m gonna where the lenses for 1 year,so I need to make sure.

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)

Toric Lenses And Blurriness….?

So I got contacts yesterday. I did fine with putting them in a taking them out. All that stuff. I can see really good through my lenses, BUT they keep moving and going out of focus so everything gets blurry. So I hafta blink a lot to make it go right and then I can see fine again. This keeps happening and it’s getting so annoying in school, while reading, while driving, etc. I went to the eye doc and one of the workers said it was normal with toric lenses and that I COULD get weighted ones, but they would be uncomfortable. I have a follow up with the doc on tuesday. But I’m just really annoyed. I have astigmatism. No nearsided or farsided-ness. I hate glasses cause they’re such a bother. But I think having your vision go blurry every few seconds is much more annoying. What can I do???

Does Anyone Know Of Any Toric Contact Lenses With A Cyl Of 0.50?

I went for a contact fitting (first time). My script is only -.75, cyl -0.50 but it is intermittently blurry. I have tried three brands now. He says this is because of my astigmatism and I am out of luck because it isn’t a bad enough astigmatism to correct. Any help?

Colored Toric Lenses?

I wear Frequency 55 Toric XR due to a very high prescription (5 diopters in each eye.. I am very nearsighted and my astigmatism makes me see double without my glasses/contacts). I have looked but found no colored contacts in the brand I wear. Are colored toric lenses only available for those with low prescriptions? (low meaning definitely not as bad as mine lol)

Why Don’t They Make Coloured Toric Lenses (for Astigmatic Eyes)?

My optometrists for the past 5-6 years have always told me that coloured contact lenses are not available (and won’t be any time soon) for people with astigmatisms. Why?
Also, I came across this article and this company called FreshLook Contacts who claim that they sell coloured toric lenses. Does anyone know about them, whether their products are reliable, and whether I should speak to my optometrist about them?
Thanks.
