I feel your pain.
For those like us who have really, really bad astigmatism, look into scleral lenses.

There is a bit of a learning curve involved with them, but they have been a career saver for me.
Hey Daniel,
Yup, they’re large, hard contacts. They vault over the cornea and sit on the sclera (the white portion of the eye).
There is a thin hollow area between the cornea and the lens. Before inserting, you fill it with fluid and then, while looking straight down, you stick the contact in. The fluid under the lens fills in around the irregular cornea. Thus, what your retina ‘sees’ is a refraction sent to it from the perfectly dome-shaped lens, not your buggered up cornea. (Which, in my case, has the topography of a mountain range sadly!)
The learning curve is getting used to sticking it in to your eye and removing it. It can be frustrating at first, but soon it is just like tying shoes.
Without them my vision is horrendous. With them, it is wonderful. They remove nearly all of my astigmatism / refractive surgery-caused visual aberrations. They are certainly worth looking into if you have corneal issues like astigmatism, keratoconous, or whatever!
Best wishes,
SBR
This is why I don't wear contacts. I appreciate the info on them, but I can't wear them for a couple reasons. Had an issue at work with dust and particulates even while wearing safety glasses, ( I'm a mechanic in the army ) and then had separate issues with them lodging in my eye corner during some sports games. Regular glasses for me is just the best option with ballistic glasses and inserts forbwork and range / mission use. Just got my prescription updated so that will probably help a little
