[QUOTE=spence;1015077]Yes, one of the reasons I went to contacts was because of glasses fogging up. The problem I have with contacts is eyes getting dry and the toric lenses not being able to rotate and center themselves....which really screws up your depth perception if you have astigmatism.

Possibly this is because I don't wear them enough and my eyes aren't used to them...not sure.

I have a very high astigmatism as well, used to wear contacts and frankly as the market moved towards comfort the lenses just weren't made the same as far as staying on their proper axis. I even tried to go back to gas permeable lenses and they still weren't great. Found myself doing the re-adjust touching the lenses all the time trying to get them to focus. I now have glasses. Sux to swap back and forth, its another thing to take room, leave behind, break etc. There is some anti fog wipes that work pretty well but there are times that there is nothing you can do. Sounds like some people here have great deals, but I got mine during a buy one pair get the second pair for like 50% deal at the store and got a new everyday pair and a pair of sunglasses. Insurance and the flex spending also help. Honestly I wish the contacts worked better for me but in the end I just couldn't see as well as I should and needed to make the switch.
