She already has the weighted (toric) lenses. My AME is also an eye doctor,
that is why I go to him. I have had problems with a retinal tear, still
have a second class medical.

I have bad eyes. Theoretically correctable to 20/20, but in reality,
toric contact lenses aren't much better than a piece of plastic in my
eye. My correction is so strong that it's difficult for me to drive
with glasses, and don't ask me to land a plane with them. So far I've
managed to hang onto my second class by sticking my finger in my eye
and manually rotating the lens before the test. I'm worried my AME is
going to start having issues with this.

I'm not sure whether I understand your problem correctly, but just in
case:

I know there are contact lenses available, which can correct astigmatism.
The trick is, they use some sort of built in tiny weight, which makes them
rotate themselves to the correct orientation.

all the best,
