Toric lenses not enough for right-eye astigmatism?

the to and lenses for not astigmatism of I%26#039

I have been a contact lenses user for 15 years now and I have been using toric lenses for the past couple of years. In the past few months my right-eye astigmatism has gotten worse and the toric lenses correction is not really enough. I work on the computer all day and it makes some difference in terms of vision comfort. I can%26#039;t focus very well and by the end of the day my head feels heavy (sometimes headache included), specially above my eyes. I%26#039;m not sure what to do. Keep on using lenses and hope the astigmatism will recede (and deal with the discomfort), get lenses for myopia and glasses for astigmatism, do LASIK and use glasses for astigmatism?... I%26#039;d appreciate your input on this situation. Thanks.

Yes the astigmatism has changed and the opticion has adjusted it, but it%26#039;s not enough and she has said this is as much as toric lenses can correct astigmatism.

I wouldn%26#039;t mind using glasses to work and read, but wouldn%26#039;t want to have to have use my normal glasses (myopia + astigmatism) all the time. I%26#039;m not sure about it, but the new updated lenses are correcting 1.25, so I%26#039;m guessing it should 1.50 or more.

That%26#039;s got to be a lot of astigmatism.
