I went to contacts a couple of years ago. It only took having my glasses busted and mangled by patients a couple of times before I got over my fear of sticking my fingers in my eyes.
I got over that surprisingly quickly. Lasik scares me too much to even consider it.
I now also have toric lenses, but I really miss my old ones, which were one month extended wear disposables. Put 'em in, take 'em out 30 days later. Wake up in the morning able to read the alarm clock and find things. I am anxiously awaiting the development of extended wear torics, which are now my only option because my astigmatism reached a level that it needs correction so I can do things like read and drive safely.
I don't have a real problem making the transition from contacts to glasses. I have a significantly stronger prescription than you do, though. I'm -6.5/-6.5
Check with your optometrist about the "fogging" thing ... might be protein buildup on the lenses, or even an allergic reaction rather than "fog". Could resolve with a change in brand of lenses or brand of rewetting solution.
I like the Allergan rewetting drops, and also have used Blink (doc was hot on it and gave me samples) and the ones that go with my saline, which is AMO Complete. I don't have a bottle of their drops right now to check the name. In the past I used Alcon products which are also pretty decent.
Which brand of torics do you have? I have Vertex's currently. My options are limited because of my prescription strength.
