Question about toric contact lens prescription

I recently decided to get contact lens finally after wearing glasses for 3 years. I have astigmatism so the doctor gave me a trial pair of lens for 1 week with a followup for the prescription. Well, I finally got a prescription and ordered my first pair from the doc. Now i know there are always cheaper ones on the internet......so I tried to look for toric lenses and found the kind i need.........but i think the size is wrong. I can't choose the size that the doc wrote on the prescription.
They are Ultraflex 55% 7/14 toric.
OD is -.50 -1.25 x 010 and
OS is -.50 -1.75 x 170

For both of them he wrote / 8.7 / 14.4 ?????????? Now i found these lens on the sites but there is no 8.7.....or 14.4.....????? can someone help me find these..........i paid $30 at his shop per pox.....each eye........

Yeah no kidding. Try $45 for each eye. I wish I could get mine cheaper online 🙁
 
One thing for dang sure is that you don't want the wrong toric lens or you won't see for crap. Getting the right toric is no easy job. Sorry I can't help but make dang sure you ge the right ones.

NO, thirty for 2 month supply = 6 lenses.....................lol..

$30 for a 2 month supply which is 6 pairs of lenses that last about two weeks each?
 
I've got an eye appointment this afternoon... I'll try to remember to ask the doctor. She doesn't sell lenses or glasses. All she does is the exam, and the prescription. I'll ask her how to go about making sure you get the right lenses, because I'm going to need toric lenses, too.
