I have one in my left eye but not severe enough to require gas-permeables. I have the cheap CibaSoft kinds

i wear frequency 55 toric--1 month disposables

these things are 55 per box of 6 i think, so like 220$ for a year's supply.

ive tried a bunch fo the softer 2-week ones, but they weren't stable enough on my cornea

Doc told me I had a mild astigmatism,but still gave me the cheapo $49 disposables(with free eye exam-w00t :D ).
They work great but I hate poking around in my eyeball,so I end up wearing my glasses anyways.

Focus Toric Monthlies. Just a mild astigmatism, that a couple Drs missed. I always wondering why my one contact kept popping out of my eye for no reason.

accuvue 2s... i don't correct my astigmatism. the left isn't off by much but the right is off enough that i can't read the text i'm typing right now. of course, i'm sitting 3 feet away from a 19" monitor at 1600x1200, not many people could see it anyway.

Coopervision Preference Toric XR (terafilcon A)

Right 8.7/14.4 Sphere -8.5 Cylinder -0.75 Axis 025
Left 8.7/14.4 Sphere -9.0 Cylinder -1.75 Axis 165

I'm blind, but after insurance my contacts are only $250 or so per year for daily wear (switch every 3 months). Biggest problem is my cylinder is so low, it means I can't really get them through a visiondirect or 1-800-contacts.

Yes, it's somewhat severe, I have to wear hard (gas-perm) lenses. They're expensive but insurance covers most of it and they last a pretty long time. Lose one and you're screwed, though.

For the past two years or so I've used Biomedics55. Cost about $10 a pair which I'm supposed to throw out every month, but I normally go two or so before switching to a new pair.

Mine aren't something you can buy off the shelf, each lens is custom lathed for me.

They take two weeks to get, & cost $150 apiece. Yes, for one lens.

I wear some sort of Sunsoft multiples, they're expensive as all hell. I think even with my insurance, it was close to $300 for a years supply

I have a double astigmatism, and I do the same with no problems. However, they told me if it gets any worse, I'm going to need the spensive ones. :(

Well if I had bought mine from Pearle Vision, I think it'd have cost me like $400 for a year's supply. Hellz no! I got 'em online instead.
