There are a very limited number of prescriptions that are available in
Focus Daily Toric lenses. Other 2 week brands are available in a huge
number of different parameters (degree of astigmatism, orientation of
the astigmatic axis, lens base curve, etc). It would be likely that
the Focus Daily Torics you have are not precisely correcting your
refractive-error leaving you with some slight blur and distortion.
Ask your doctor to be sure.
