Toric lenses are special lenses to correct astigmatisms. They're not fully symmetrical, because they have to fix the 'defective' eye. When you first put a toric lens in it can be pretty blurry for about 5 minutes. This is because it's adjusting to your eye.
I have one for my right eye, and a regular lens for my left since only my right eye has astigmatism. Unfortunately the toric lenses tend to be more expensive than regular, depending on what you need done.
Also, I do wear glasses and my prescription does change a bit. I like to get my glasses separately from the contacts 'cause like you I get headaches when they account for my astigmatism!
