They have a .75 I think. Close enough. If they don't have a .75, then
I wouldn't switch because overcorrection is not good with cyls.

There are lots of torics with .75 cyls, but I'm assuming you mean
disposing of them at 2 wks, not continuous wear for 2 weeks. Very few
torics are approved for that.
Of course if your spectacle cyl is 1.25 or greater, no problem with the
1.25 toric CLs for sure.
Drop in on him/her and sit there until you get an answer.
