I want to use contact lenses, but I have dry eyes and astigmatism 4 years ago, the doctor told me I was not a candidate for contact lenses but I know that things have changed now.
you can try the new Acuvue Oasys .. ask your doctor for a Eyeye trial pair ... is good for dry eyes ... I use it and it's great ....
Acuvue, used for over 10 years. They are nice and thin as your eyes can "breathe" and not dry. They also make for Astigmatism em now too.
If I understand the silicone hydrogel lenses are good for what you mention. Below is a link to information on this type of contact lenses.
