    i have -2.50-2.50x133 and -6.50-2.75x66. i was fitted with toric and
    monovision and i hated it. my doc told me he's not aware of any soft
    bifocal that correct astigmatism as well. he suggested i see a contact
    lense specialist to be fitted with rgp that may fix it.....any
    suggestion? TIA

    Sure. There are actually quite a few toric multifocals and I have
    successfully fit a few. A doctor who is interested in fitting this lens
    design will have access to 9 different brands.

    If you can wear RGP multifocals and your astigmatism is cornea derived,
    you might have better success with RGP designs, but soft is certainly an
    option.

    Best of luck.

    thanks, and which brand do you have the most luck with? and how much
    will it run for the lenses? TIA

    That's not necessarily relevant to your needs. The practitioner should
    be able to figure out which design is most appropriate for you.
    Again, that will be up to the practitioner. Do remember that your costs
    will include office visits for fitting and follow-up in addition to the
    costs of the lenses.
