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This prescription is 3 years out of date, if you’re ordering new glasses you should just get a new eye exam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.
Class R - Regular Operator’s License
Restrictions 1 - Corrective Lenses
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.
-4.25. 0.25. 134.
-4.50. 0.50. 70.
But this prescription expired 2 years ago. Get a new one.
Not negatives. They’re “cursive zeros”. My old doctor used to do that. Annoying as hell.
Why do three of the seven zeroes on that page not have those weird lead-ins? (Left axis, and both date fields each have non-cursive zeroes)
The other two non-controversial zeros are each after a “5”. The horizontal stroke of the 5 extends to the top of the zero.
Coming to the controversial ones, why do we expect them not to look like the zeroes in the axis or date fields? Why are we expecting them to be “cursive” with so many examples of non-cursive zeroes present? Why are we thinking there isn’t the horizontal stroke of a minus sign in front of them?
I didn’t ask a medical opinion. I only asked a handwriting interpretation. Thank you though, for whatever it’s worth.
Would have been nice to know how to read this garbage before the prescription expired though…
You didn’t get medical opinion. You got the written number. And if you wanted to know three years ago, you probably should have either posted or called your doctor three years ago lol
Ah, yes, during lockdown no less…
What’s the doctor’s name again? Let’s read the paper together…
Dw R
Edit: I have no clue what her name was. Plus Walmart is shutting down all it’s health centers…
Have you considered CALLING your fucking optometrist and asking for clarification?
Edit: after reading your other replies in this post its clear you’re just trolling. Go get another eye exam, Mr. “Perfectly Stable Eyes.”
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…
I’m cringing at the date format “1-20-21”.
I filed my first complaint against a coworker for arguing with me about ISO standards. I’m an AV engineer and use YYYY-MM-DD for my print sets which he found “confusing” because most fools write M-D-YY. I told him I got approval to do it that way and it might even become mandatory (true) but he wouldn’t drop it. He sarcastically told me I should teach a class on date formats because I think I’m so smart.
We’re an international company and I’m gonna keep using the international standard for dates, douchebag.
I like how this person is confused by a four-digit year as the first field, like that’s ambiguous!
some online shops let you upload a scan of it, do that and let them decipher the code.
If you saw the part I censored, you’d really see how bad their handwriting was. Of course I’m not gonna share that here, but I’m staring at the paper right now, wondering what the fuck?!
Because in the domain of what they’re writing, there’s certain expected values, so they’re writing can get pretty wild, as long as the technical practitioner matches it to the closest value they’re expecting it works.
And absolute worst case scenario, the technician will call the OD office.
Do you know what it’s like to have two legal names, two legal birth certificates, and two legal SS numbers?
ohh i believe you lol, I had a prescription once and the docyor put something in ink on it, the pharmacist had to call the doctor to work it out.
the pharmacist had to call the doctor to work it out.
Oh god, that must have been better than AES256 if even a pharmacist couldn’t decrypt it.
