  I too have an issue with soft contact lenses not providing great vision due to astigmatism. I tried getting sclerals fitted but had to return them due to the optometrist having trouble fitting them. The vision was crystal clear though -- shame it didn't work out. The downside was that they felt incredibly fragile and were quite expensive at around 1000$ for a pair. I pay about 300$ a year for daily soft lenses so that's quite an increase in price. I've heard RGPs are painful. Are the hybrids unnoticeable (like sclerals/soft lenses) or is there still an adjustment period?

    I've worn both RGPs and hybrids. RGPs are unwearable for me because of comfort levels. Even after a two week adjustment period. Hybrids have been really comfortable for me. The lens change may take a day or two to adjust, but I tend to forget about them until ~14hrs when they start to feel a bit dry. *Disclaimer there is variance among both eyes and lens manufactures (I've had some manufactures that felt dry really soon, others are much better).
