-4.25. 0.25. 134.

-4.50. 0.50. 70.

But this prescription expired 2 years ago. Get a new one.

You missed the negative signs on the cylinder corrections.

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…

Just go to Zennie and put in the numbers it gives you. You will need to figure out your own pupillary distance (PD) to finish the order, but that’s pretty easy to do with a friend of you can’t read a ruler without your glasses.

Put in the numbers it gives you? What’s that supposed to mean?

My original question is how the hell do you read this shit?

Another commenter managed to interpret the doctor’s hieroglyphics for me, long after the prescription expired though.

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…

That’s fully legible, but probably only because my handwriting is just as bad.

What is the y?

What is the backwards f?

What are the preceding symbols?

What the hell is that weird symbol in the Cylinder column?

What TF does any of this even mean?

I mean fuck, everyone tells me to order glasses online, but what the fuck does any of these cryptic symbols mean?

This is not right. You missed the negative signs on the cylinder corrections. This will worsen OP’s astigmatism.

This is probably the most helpful comment I’ve received here. Looks about right, I guess, I think…

Thank you. 👍
