What Contact Lenses Will Work Best For A Strong Astigmatism And Are Soft And Comfortable? I’ve Tried Everythin

I use Focus Toric (I think from Accuvue), and they work well for me.
Cooper Vision has good contacts that are soft and comfortable for astigmatism.
It depends on your actual script, especially if you are wanting a disposable lens.
If you have a particularly high cylinder (the toric corrective power), you may not have many (if any) options in a disposable lens. On the other hand, if you are willing to wear annual replacement lenses (vial lenses you replace every one to two years) you have more options.
Of the larger manufacturers, Coopervision and Cibavision both have a wide variety of toric powers available. Coopervision in particular has a very wide variety of toric lenses. Johnson and Johnson (the people who make Accuvue) tend to specialize in disposable lenses, which may be beyond the scope of what you need for your prescription.
P.S. (for the first reponder): Focus Toric is a Cibavision lens, Accuvue is Johnson and Johnson / Vistakon lens.
