  Of course you can. There are many types of contacts that can correct astigmatism, like soft toric contact lenses. If you wear bifocals, which means you need lenses for both near and far. Nowadays many people who want to correct both astigmatism and presbyopia choose to wear one lens for distance and the other one for near, which is also called monovision. You should go to have an eye exam and the optometrist will prescrible the contact lenses for you.
