Thanks so much for your help. I double-checked and on my prescription the cylinder is written with a plus sign (+.75) so I'll assume that is correct. I've never bought glasses through a website before so I've been doing a lot of research to make sure I order correctly. I really don't want to have to pay hundreds of dollars for one pair of glasses when I can get the same quality for so much less. I'm kind of bummed that because my prescription is so high I can't get the standard lens with no extra cost, but I guess paying a little extra for the high- index lenses is still better than a brick and mortar store.
