The cylinderical power is minimal a compared to spherical power in your case. Also contact lenses are not available for cylinders below 0.75D.
Next Steps
Get contact lenses for -4.50D for each eye.
Health Tips
Prefer to use monthly disposables contacts and be sure to use hand hygiene and disinfection while using the contact lenses.
