Short sighted astigmatism lenses

So I’ve got to the point where my reading vision is deteriorating. I am very short sighted (-7) and have astigmatism. I have just got toric contacts, but need to also use reading glasses with them as Specsavers can’t correct all my issues with lenses without losing distance vision. I also have two pairs of normal glasses - one for reading, one for driving, for days when I’m not wearing my contacts. My prescription means I can’t have varifocals.

This is an absolute pain in the arse and not one item of corrective eyewear gives me good all round vision and I am constantly changing glasses and putting them on and off and need to carry two pairs with me all the time, even round the house!

Is this what my life is going to be like forever now? I’m only 49 and in the grand scheme of things it’s only a small issue, but has anyone else had similar issues and managed to resolve them??

Did you have any luck?

I know this is an old thread but I have a similar issue and was wondering whether you resolved this?
