contact lenses question

[MigX]

just got my first batch of contact lenses from the optician but i have 2 questions that i would like to ask here.
1st is that i cant match my prescription with any website.
acuvue moist for astigmatism d -5.25 cyl/axis -0.75 010
this is the information i have in the packaging but when i look for it in the interweb i cant find the axis option of 010 (or any similar variant).

2nd i was given 30 lenses on 5 lenses per packet (saying sample. not for sale. on every one of them,i payed £45 for it)
i asked for 1 month suply. by my calculations im 15 lenses short even that i will only be wearing them in one eye.

tomorrow im going there to ask about it but would like your opinions about it.
thank you

The prescription is fine - the 010 is 10 degrees on this chart, I think.



Try it with glasses off, the 10 degree line should be clear, all the rest a bit blurry.

They're one day lenses yes? There are 30 days in a month (ish) so 30 lenses will last you a month?

when i was ordering them in conversation with the guy in the store we said that in my case a 1 month supply would last 2 months as i would use it only on my right eye.
so i supposed when someone order one month supply its for both eyes.
the question about the axis is that i cant find it on the drop down option on the websites that sell contact lenses.
if its the case that 30 lenses cost 45 pounds at the optician i would rather buy them half price online.

quick update. found a website with the lenses that i need (filling up all the details) and it says £45 per 30 pairs. how should i ask about my 30 lenses that are missing? and should i say anything about the lenses they gave me are samples.
