Glasses Prescriptions

Hi,

I recently had my eyes tested twice (because i didnt trust the first
optician)

And these are my two prescriptions:


Sph Cyl Axis
+0.25 +0.75 180
+0.25 +0.75 170

+1 -0.5 100
+1.25 -0.75 70


Can someone please tell me if these are significantly different from
each other (so i know if i need a third opinion)

Thanks

Hi Robert, Michael

Thanks for the url, I had done the conversion myself, but not knowing
anything about optics i cant judge how significant the difference is.

Are they different enough to warrant me getting another test?

Thanks

Dear Robert,

Subject: Are you going to fill the prescription.

Question: What did the optometrist say was your
problem?

Do you think you have a serious medical problem that
these prescription glasses will solve?

What was your complaint before you went to
this doctor for assistance?

Thanks for the information!

Otis
