The Dr. that refracted my son's eyes wrote his prescription as: Right Eye: +100 +200 x 110 Left Eye: 150 +225 x 75 But the store that made his glasses interpreted this as: Right Eye: +3.00 -2.0 x 20 Left Eye: +3.75 -2.25 x 165 Is this correct? He has astigmatism and needs glasses for distance.

Dr. Virginia Donati's response:

Hello Jayne, Yes these two prescriptions you have given me are exactly the same. This is just a different way of recording the information. Thanks for your question, Dr. Donati
