Odd contact lens prescription?

I love my new Frequency 55 soft toric contact lenses and would like to continue to wear them. However.. I am not able to order contacts online because of my "odd" prescription. It seems that you can only enter multiples of 10 for your prescription numbers.
For example: On every single website I went to, you can only enter 170 or 180 for the axis. The axis on my left eye is 175. Same problem with my sphere, the lowest number I found on any site is .75, my sphere is.25. What is up with this? My optometrist said my lenses would be $99 a box from their store. I do not want to pay that much.. but I go online to ANY contact lens website and I can't even enter my numbers. I have a different RX in each eye and very bad astigmatism.
Are these websites made only for people who have "normal" prescriptions? Should I call these sites and ask? I am not about to pay $200 for 2 boxes of lenses at the optometrist!

Usually the web sites list a phone number in case you are not comfortable buying over the net. Just give 'em a call. I have done this MANY times and am very happy with 1-800-CONTACTS. Fast service, fair prices. good luck.
Heres a link for with a $40 coupon!

www.lens.com has frequency 55 toric xr that will accomadate an axis of 175. By sphere do you mean cylinder? the XR doesnt go that low. If your doctor has the contacts that fit your prescription you have to be able to buy them elsewhere, get a copy of the prescription and call the company which is Coopervision. They will either be able to tell you where to buy them or they will allow you to order direct.

Good luck!
