I likewise have recently begun wearing toric lenses. the first brand I was fitted in were a total nightmare causing all types of eye irritation problems. The second brand were no better. I have just recently begun wearing the accuvu oasis toric lenses and there is a difference between night and day. Just saying that sometimes you may need to work with your eye doctor to work out the little issues. I use my contacts for shooting and hunting and they make it realy easy when using optics or trying to get a full field of view
I also use them for shooting, but I also use them for firefighting, just make sure you blink about twice as much as you normally would, especially on a dry day. I also carry eye drops in my range bag, like almost everyone else.
