For that size of astigmatism I would think there was an extra price you don't get the price of a lens broken down like that (bi focals and the blue filter will show up as extras) So how do you know there is no extra.

I just had to pay more as my prescription on astigmatism went from 2 to 2.5

You likely had to pay more to get the thinner "high index" lenses. Otherwise lenses get pretty thick at that power, but they don't cost much more as long as you're willing to live with that thickness.

Ah - they all look thin to me.

I had my cataracts replaced and before that astigmatism was the least of the issues -20 diapotre for short sight are quite thick

I go to https://www.goggles4u.co.uk/

There are frames advertised, with prices, before they have any idea what my prescription is. I add to cart, and give my prescription. The price is the same. So, they can't be adding extra for my astigmatism.
