mike,
respectfully disagree, and again this is my profession
disposable toric lenses correct astigmatism 100%
patients fit with these lenses have achieved 20/15 vision 87%of the time, and that is a stat from the AAO (american association of optometrist)
20/15 is better than perfect vision, which is 20/20
your dr may be keeping you is rgp's (perma) lenses because his profit is MUCH higher than selling disposable lenses.
