Are there bifocal contact lenses for astigmatism?

I have astigmatism and normally wear Toric lenses with readers on top. I also have varifocal glasses. I want to wear contact with no readers. I have some ordinary bi-focal lenses, but although good, my vision is a bit blurry due to the astigmatism.
I have heard there are some contacts I can have but they are not disposable.
HELP

Unfortunately there are no bifocal contact lenses for astigmatism yet. The best solution is exactly what you have...toric lenses (for astigmatism) with reading glasses on top.

There are contact lenses for astigmatism, I used to wear one and it worked fine. It was a 3-monthly one, monthly ones were not available at that time. Ask your optician for details.

Eye doctor Q&A on bifocal contacts
Bifocal contact lenses are designed to give good vision to people who have a condition called presbyopia. The key sign that you're developing presbyopia is that you need to hold reading material, like a menu or newspaper, farther from your eyes to see it clearly.

Bifocal contact lenses are available in both soft and rigid gas permeable (GP) materials, and some can be worn on a disposable basis. That means you can have the convenience of throwing the lenses out at specified intervals (even daily, in some cases) and replacing them with fresh, new lenses. Also, one bifocal brand is available in silicone hydrogel material.

Bifocals, Multifocals 鈥?What's the Difference?
Bifocal contacts lenses have two prescriptions in the same lens. Multifocal contact lenses have a range of powers (similar to progressive spectacle lenses) in each lens. "Multifocal" is also used as a catch-all term for all lenses with more than one power, including bifocals.

As far as I no (or what I have been told) contact lenses cannot correct astigmatism, but are shaped differently to accomodate for the alternate shape of the cornea. I have these for my astigmatism and they are disposable.

Keep searching, they are out there.

I have a similar problem, althogh I could not wear soft disposable lenses, my optician gave me slightly different prescription for each eye, sounds daft but it worked a treat, even with large astigmatism.

Disposable soft contact lenses are available for correcting astigmatism and for correcting reading vision but sadly not both.

The contact lens that will do both for you depending on your exact prescription and eye shape is a rigid Gas Permeable lens. These are not disposable and have to be looked after with contact lens solutions.

The one I wear is called Essentials and is supplied by a company called David Thomas.

You will need to have them fitted by an Optician and not all Opticians seem to fit them. Mine cost 拢300 initially but rigid lenses last several years and the vision is as good as with my varifocal glasses.
