OK Paul, you're going to have to explain that first suggestion of yours, as it doesn't seem to make sense (or maybe it's just my ignorance).
Why would he change the OS Sphere to -2.25 from -2.50? Dropping the cylinder and axis in the OD Rx is understandable as it would hardly be needed anyway, but why lower the sphere in the left eye? It's not like it's going to affect the pricing of the lenses at this strength. Please enlighten this poor starving mind. ;) -=# Firewalker #=- On Apr 22, 10:44 pm, Paul <[email protected]> wrote: > The line means you have no astigmatism in your left eye (OS).
