Sure, you are looking for a toric lens.
I had astigmatism and these were the best lenses for me. I used the brand Proclear, but there are others (I have since had lasik surgery).
Toric lenses are able to correct both the astigmatism and near-sightedness because they have two powers in them.
Good luck!

Slight spelling errors can make this difficult to search for on the internet: that's "astigmatism" and "near-sighted"
"Toric" or "Astigmatic" lenses are widely available from a range of manufacturers. They do cost more than spherical lenses wtith no astigmatic component.
Bausch & Lomb do Purevison Torics, for example, (see below) but your optical practictioner should be able to advise the best brand to suit your particular eyes and Rx
