Best contact lenses for astigmatism and light sensitive eyes?!
Question: Acuvue for astigmatism is good for people with this problem b/c they also contain UV shielding. However, I wear regular contacts (Acuvue) even though I have astigmatism. The doctor said my astigmatism was not severe and that I could probably get by with regular contacts, plus they are much cheaper normally, although I have not checked the prices recently. My contacts also have UV shielding which makes me feel good since my husband just had cataract surgery.

Like Spongbo.. I have had good luck with the Acuvue Advance. They have information on there web site. There are probably other brands too. You can search for "contacts for astigmatism" and get information.
Your eye care professional is the one to talk to also.
