What is the best brand of toric contact lenses?

What is the most comfortable,
the best deal, and safest?

Also please tell me any
experience you've had with
any other toric/astigmatism
contacts lenses.

It depends on a lot of things. The higer your astigmatism, the fewer choices you'll have for brands of contacts. It also depends on the shape of your eye, if you have allergies or dry eyes, the tightness of your eyelids, etc. Your eye doctor should be able to choose the best lens for your eyes. That being said, MY favorite toric lenses are:
PureVision Toric -- safest
SofLens66 Toric -- little more comfortable
Vertex Toric -- best deal
Most often, it's in that order that I'll try them on patients, again, depending on their eyes. If you have high powers of astigmatism, try the Frequency 55 ToricXR.

I have been wearing Focus Toric for several years and am VERY pleased with them !
I'm trying on some that you keep on for a week but it's not working for me.
Going back to my Focus !

the one that fits your individual eye is the "best" brand for you.
