There are various kinds of modern soft lenses that would work, but now I'm at an age where I'd need reading glasses anyway....

I had gas-permeable hard contacts many years ago and I could only wear them for a few hours at a time, but the last pair of soft lenses with astigmatim correction were great, but very expensive. I'll have to look into the, again, the pricing has probably come down.
I am reminded of a comedy routine by Bill Cosby, he was talking about getting bifocals foe very first time, I got a pair a year ago and I hate the damn things. Hate them so much that I had a pair of reading glasses made and a regular pair. It really sucks to have to carry 2 pair, but what can you do?
