Question:
Answers:
Yes, they are called toric lenses -- they are a little heavier at the bottom so they don't shift around in a circular manner as the other lenses might. There are lots of websites with info on the topic. See URL: http://www.allaboutvision.com/contacts/t...
yes, but you will need a special type of contacts that will cost more than regular contacts.

Yes, they make astigmatic corrected contacts. They are slightly heavier on one side, so that they turn around after you place them in your eye, so that the heavier side faces down. Even the one-use daily contacts can come with astigmatic correction versions.
