An astigmatism cannot be corrected without surgery. Maybe you misheard your doctor and he said it could correct your VISION, but not correct the PROBLEM.
Astigmatism will get progressively worse. It is an inherited eye issue, so your parents probably have it, or someone else in your family.
You probably have to wait until you are older because you are ONLY 16 and still growing. Maybe you could go to a different eye doctor and get a second opinion.
Glasses aren't cheap. Contacts aren't cheap. Surgery isn't cheap. Welcome to the world

You can only help see better. Nothing is going to stop it other than surgery.
A lot of people with astigmatism cannot wear contacts. There is an issue with night blindness, blurry vision from slipping, etc.
Your eye is mishapen, which is why you have to get the more expensive contact lenses. They have to be weighted a certain way to fit effectively.
Glasses aren't for everyone either. Just pick your poison, I guess.
