    Could someone give me a hand understanding my prescription, it seems a bit basic.

    All it says is

    R 2.75 | ō50 x 20
    L 3.75 | ō50 x 10

    If it's any help the contacts perscription was

    R 8.6 | 14.2 | - 2.75
    R 8.6 | 14.2 | - 3.75

    I'm looking to get glasses of Zenni but i've no idea what to put in.

    Thanks for any help.

    Not sure what ō50 refers to, but regarding the lenses prescription, I'd say 8.6 is the base curve, 14.2 is lens diameter, 2.75 and 3.75 is the sphere.

    But call your optician and ask, they are there to help.

    The o50 is the cyl power for astigmatism.
