>Current passive orientating contacts for astigmatism are severely limited.

I have severe astigmatism, have worn contacts (when seasonal allergies aren't horrible) for almost 20 years. Never had an issue that I would even remotely describe as 'severely limiting'. Have I had to blink a few times occasionally to get a contact that's gone a little wonky to correct, yes, but that doesn't justify the incredible cost that some sort of automatically adjusting (probably with some incredibly tiny gyros?) contact would cost. If such a thing were even possible.
