If there's nothing on your prescription for "cyl" (cylinder) and "axis", you don't have astigmatism.

If you do have astig. your prescription will have something like cyl -2.75, axis 140 as well as the spherical value. The 140 is degrees from the datum. My last lenses had datum at 12 o'clock, these new ones it's at 9.
