You need them all...-0.75 - 2.75 X 98 is the prescription for your right eye...both powers and the axis is needed , or you won't see with them.
You have a lot of astigmatism that has to be corrected or you won't see with your contacts.
That is a prescription for glasses, not for contacts to begin with.
You need special toric lenses for astigmatism , which means there is no way you can guess at what will work for you.
Sorry , but you better forget the Circle lenses, you won't see with them.
