Seriously, what the fuck is this?
Have you not heard? Walmart is shutting down all of it’s health centers…
Thanks for the positive words though, all I need is lenses that aren’t scratched to hell and back.
You have a 3 year old prescription that you can’t parse. You need a new eye exam and new prescription. Walmart isn’t the problem here. You are.
Oh come on, how many people do you expect to read that weird character as a zero? That’s not common Arabic numerals…
You’re talking about the “weird characters” in the cylinder corrections? They are minus signs in front of the zeros. The other commentator missed them as well.
Spherical corrections are given in diopters, which are rarely outside of +9 (very farsighted) to -9 (very nearsighted) with 0.25 precision: You will only see .00, .25, .50, or .75 after the decimal point in those fields.
Cylinder corrections are also in diopters with 0.25 precision, but are usually pretty small.
Axis is in integer degrees, so will be a number between 0 and 360. This is the angle at which the cylindrical correction should apply, to correct astigmatism.
You may encounter “Add” for bifocal/trifocal lenses, which is given in positive diopters with 0.25 precision.
“PD”, or “pupillary distance” is the spacing of your eyes, given in millimeters.
Once you know what should be in each of the fields, figuring out the handwriting is pretty straightforward.
