I've not worn contacts for about 4 years and decided to go with them again.

Went to vision express and they provided me with two boxes. The vision is fine, but the right one they provided me with astigmatism lenses. Maybe this is right or not, but it wont settle. It's irritating me on the right eye only. Putting in and out is easy, there's no blur or anything at all, it just wont settle.

Ive tried three sets now (disposable ones) and the most i could manage out of the right eye was three hours before I had to bin them.

The boxes are open, is there any point in going back to the opticians to see if theres anything that can be done?

I'm definately going to take them back.

I tried as a test, putting the left eye in the right eye and it settled straight away. No pain of scratching, but then I started to get a headache, i assume because the powers are different (albeit by only -0.25).

Ugh, what a pain. Im tempted to try anothe ropticians though for a second opinion in case mine royally fked up.
