Is it normal for my Toric contact lense to slide down?

I just got contact lenses last Tuesday and I wear a Toric lense in my left eye because of my astigmatism. I can see great (although my left eye is occasionally slightly blurred for a moment), but I can always sort of feel my Toric lense, and it seems to be slid down a bit from my iris (isnt that the colored part of the eye??). My left eye isnt uncomfortable (and I'm sure that the contact is put in correctly), it's just that on my right eye, the contact is lined up perfectly all the time and i can't feel it. Is this normal for my Toric lense to be slid down some?

I think this problem is common if your lenses aren't fitting right. I have astigmatism also and I often found my lenses sliding around. Because they have to be lined up, if they shift it will blur your vision, just as you said. I had to try 4 different brands of Toric lenses before they stayed put. The funny part is that the brand that fits me perfectly is the most expensive. My Optometrist said that they generally start with the least expensive brand and work up if the patient is having problems with them. Speak to your Optometrist about this problem, because you may need to try a different brand.

Yes. Toric is a weighted lens so it will do that because of gravity. If it continues to be uncomfortable then talk to your doctor.
