Not Wearing Contacts Before Lasik

Contact lenses for people with astigmatism and squint!?
I have worn special contact lenses for people with astigmatism before (hard lenses with correction for cornea and shortsightedness), but they did not work. I still had problems with blurring and had to squint alot to keep them in place as they seemed to move all the time.
I was wondering if this occurrs because my astigmatism is more severe than the lenses can cope with, or if it is due to the fact that I have an alernating squint (Strabismus). Would this effect my contact lense wearing abilities?
If so, should I just bite the bullet and save for LASIK? Or are there (cheaper) er…other ways of fixing my vision apart from glasses?
Thanks!
I meant ‘alternating’ squint. Me need to learn spell, yes?
A new exam and glasses or contacts may solve your situation.
