What? FELL out? It's not possible for soft lenses to fall out. They could maybe wrinkle up a bit, or otherwise feel uncomfortable and maybe come unstuck if they weren't the right size, but otherwise...this is not possible. Gas perm lenses, on the other hand, can definitely pop out, though even then, you don't usually feel it. you just notice that suddenly something went very blurry and oh shit you better find your lens before it finds the bottom of someone's shoe, or worse...
Also, I've got astigmatism, and I do just fine with contacts. Really.
The hydrogen peroxide solution wouldn't have been insurmountable--I just would have had to rinse the heck out of the lenses before putting them anywhere near my eye. Not ideal, but not impossible, either.
