Hi I am 22 years old. Awhile back I went to the eye doctors and had gotten a new prescription for my contacts and glasses. I have been using both for years. I was diagnosed with an astigmatism this time around. I got my glasses and they are wonderful and crisp, but I just recently got my new contacts and wore them and I can hardly read anything. It's like night and day for the difference between my contacts and my glasses. I have never experienced this problem before. And I noticed it isn't just one eye. It is both. I can even close one eye and then the other and see that they are both just as bad, so I don't think it has anything to do with my astigmatism. Also made sure I have the contacts in the right eyes and they are. It just amazes me how much better my glasses are. Any suggestions?

You don't mention if the contact lenses correct for astigmatism. Sometimes if the astigmatism is minor, they don't bother using toric contact lenses to correct for astigmatism and just use spherical contact lenses since they are less complicated. Usually that works out fine since people have good enough vision with minor astigmatism that isn't corrected, but perhaps in your case you need it corrected.
If you do have astigmatism correcting contacts, toric lenses can sometimes rotate. If you do have toric lenses then you might try blinking for a bit and giving them a few minutes to be sure they've settled into the right position, otherwise that will reduce your vision.
