have them reake the pairs you cant wear to the exact specs of the one you can, or have them make doubles frame and all of the 2 good ones, as you sound sensitive to this stuff. The cyl axis is in ANSI tolerance, the .75 prism is not cause the tolerance for this is 0.
but, even if the pair you like doesnt match your rx per se, have them copy all, prism if needed, pd etc to the one that works ( that includes lens material.)
