Answer 2

Is consider on the boredline. Just Use non toric lenses and if u feel that the image is blur then order softlen toric. It is clear and is cheaper.

Answer 3

Your astigmatism is just bad enough that it has to be corrected somehow. , being as it is almost as strong as the Sphere power.

There are another lens type called " Aspheric " that just may do the job of masking that 0.75 cyl also. They are a few dollars more than the regular lens, but a lot less than torics.

But you would have to have trials first from the Dr. to see if they would give you a clear enough vision .

I also assume you mean to order online...which means you can't order anything different than what is on your Rx.

A - 1.25 SPH ( 1/3 of the 0.75 CYL is added to the SPH power ) Aspheric lens would be worth trying...ask your Doc about a trial lens.
