Astigmatism can be corrected with glasses, toric contact lenses, or refractive surgery. These options will be determined by you based upon your age, your shortterm and longterm visual needs, occupational and recreational visual requirements, your general health and eye health, and what you can afford to do. If you already have seen an eye doctor, I would discuss your needs and requirements with him or her in order to make the proper decision as to what is best at the present time. Good luck and best wishes.
