There is no way you can get astigmatism lenses with that prescription.
That prescription is for glasses.
Several changes have to be made to that Rx to get contacts with it....and there is no way you can guess at it and expect the lenses to work for you.
The sphere, cyl, and axis all have to be changed for it to work for contacts.
You need professional help to be fitted with contacts like that...they are too special for a layman to guess at.
Optician
Like the other answer said, you need to get a eye doc to help you out with that. Glasses prescription and contact lens prescription are not the same. They differ since one is ON THE EYE and the other IS IN FRONT OF THE EYE. Get fitted for contacts, then you can buy them online. In the USA, it is illegal for the eye doc to not give you your prescription.
