Reading prescription and ordering online

bennyx_o

Hey, I'm looking to order some new prescription glasses/sunglasses online but I'm having some issues with my prescription. I've asked the optician but I'm still none the wiser!

Basically, my prescription is hand written as follows:

R: -2.25DS
L: -1.75/-1.80 x 180

Now, I understand what the values are and everything, but on the websites I'm looking to order from (Zenni) there is no option for -1.80 for the cylinder value (only goes in values of 0.25).

What I'm wondering is, if I enter -1.75 for the cylinder value on the left, would there be a noticeable difference from -1.80?

Cheers!

I would say it could be -1.50 and the 5 looks like an 8. Ring your Optician to double check.

It's something I did consider, but it doesn't look like a 5.
