Seriously, what the fuck is this?
-4.25 0.25 134
-4.50 0.50 70
This prescription is 3 years out of date, if you’re ordering new glasses you should just get a new eye exam
How are his zeroes so inconsistent.
Fucker should go back to elementary school or buy a fucking computer.
Nobody should have tried to write cursive numbers. That’s just a recipe for disaster
I don’t know who downvoted you, but have an upvote.
Thank you for understanding. 👍
Those aren’t cursive. You missed the minus sign on the cylinder corrections.
Thank you for looking and trying your best. I’m still confused though.
Last they told me was my left eye was -4.5, and my right eye was -4.25, both with a 15⁰ astigmatism.
But what’s up with that 134? Do you really think that’s meant to read 134?
I dunno, serious legit questions, regarding the handwriting, not asking any medical opinion, just handwriting…
134 indicates that this is a prescription for glasses and not lenses. Lenses are typically only available in increments of 10.
If that’s the case, you should get a new prescription specifically for lenses, because the spherical correction (-4.5) will also be different between glasses and lenses, because of the distance to the eye.
What’s the difference between glasses and lenses?
I need to understand this before Labor Day, I have to renew my driver’s license, and that’s a restriction on my license.

Looks like 13y and fo to me.
At least I think I can read the rest of it, I guess…
But am I supposed to guess on bullshit like this to order glasses online?
I have an old lens from over 6 years ago from broken glasses that works better than my newer old glasses from 3 years ago.
Pretty sure I know my own eyes and the lenses I have available. The best lens I have right now is a prescription monocle I keep in my wallet.
I would highly encourage a new eye exam. No need to get glasses or order anything from your optometrist but an eye exam.
It sounds like none of the above give you that nice crisp 20/20. I find every like 2 or 3 years my eyes change a bit and that slight change in prescription sometimes makes a significant difference before and after new vs old glasses.
My old backup lens gives me 20/15 vision, considered better than perfect.
I think I’ll stick with what I know thank you.
I can see you’re frustrated with the handwriting on this prescription, and with them telling you you need a new eye exam. I don’t know that folks here can help any more than they have - I’ve had the same experience where Zenni or Warby Parker wouldn’t let me order new glasses without a more recent prescription.
Seems like the best way to move forward is to get a new exam, and right after verify that you can read what the prescription says. If your eyes are temporarily out of whack afterwards you could bring an acquaintance to read it, or even ask the closest stranger to verify.
