Confused About What Type Of Contacts To Get [points To Best Answer]?

I have really bad short-sightedness (myopia) and quite bad astigmatism. I think I have to get toric lenses (that is what the optician said) because of the astigmatism but will any type work for the astigmatism AND the myopia or will they only work for the astigmatism.
I doubt I’ll get any answers so thanks if you help!

What Is The Best Type…?

What is the best type of contact lenses that you have used and why? Anyone who has astigmatism please give your favorite toric lenses also.

What Type Of Contact Lenses Should I Get? (overnight, Extended, Daily?)?

I think I’d like to get contact lenses, but I want to know which kind to use.
I love the idea of overnight extended use contacts (so I don’t have to take the contacts out at night, and I can wear the same contacts for 2 weeks or so). What are these like? Are they comfortable?
What type of contacts do you use, and why?
I have weak long-sightedness (just +1 in each eye) and slight astigmatism in each eye. My current optometrist told me to just wear my glasses for reading. But my friend who is a trained/registered optometrist but is not currently practising suggests I wear my glasses all the time, because I complain of frequent headaches and eye-strain. In the last month I’ve been doing this and feel more comfortable if I wear my glasses all the time. But I don’t want to have to do this, so I’d like to get contact lenses instead.

Trying Out 2 Different Type Of Contact Lenses?

I had been wearing the Purevision Toric for a year. Now I am revisiting the optometrist for the better lenses for my eyes with higher Dk.
My doctor gave me 2 pairs of lenses to try out. One is Air Optix for Astigmatism and the other one is Acuvue Oasys for astigmatism.
Experience with Air Optix: These lenses are comfortable, they provide clear vision for me when they are settled but I feel burning in my eyes so many times in a day and they get blurry easily. Seem like my left eye is blurrier compared to the the right, is this lense incompatibility? or the power is not good enough.
With Oasys: cause my eyes to itch on the sides and the peripheral visions are bad (top left and right of the focus). One day, they are so hard to get out, they seem to stick to my eyes (like with some kind of adhesive, BC problem?) even that I had just but them on for 3 hours.
Which one would likely to be more compatible?

What Type Of Contact Lenses Do I Need If My Prescription Is…?

ok i got a prescription from my optometrist with the prescription:
sphere cylinder axis
OD: -6.75 -0.25 160
OS: -7.50 -1.00 170
do i really need astigmatism lenses or toric lenses or can i just get regular. i have gone to two different opticians for an estimate on how much the contacts would cost and both told me different things. one said i need lenses for astigmatism and the other said i dont need lenses for astigmatism. i dont know what to do so what do u recommend?
