Some lenses, I think mostly the soft ones, are asymmetrical: They are intentionally heavier on the bottom and let gravity rotate them into place.

Yes -- those are toric lenses, for correcting astigmatism. Unfortunately it makes them rather thicker and less comfortable than the usual ones.

Funnily enough, I just picked up today my first ever daily disposable lenses for correcting astigmatism. These are the most comfortable lenses I've ever worn, including regular daily disposables.

Still, there is going to be a significant amount of shake and sway as you move your eyes around. I wonder if you could correct it in software by tracking the movement of the lens with respect to the eye.
