Answers:
The Snellen 20/20 scale does not have anything to do with this, it never has!. What a goof!. What this means is that you have a prescription for your left eye!.!.!.!. O!.S means Ocula Sinestra or Left eye!. -7!.00 is one of the components of your Rx and the -1!.00 is the cylinder, meaning that you have two different diopters of curvature on your lense!. One is a -7!.00 and the other is a -8!.00!. They are 180 degrees apart!. Your -7!.00 is sitting at the 140 degree line and your -8!.00 is sitting at the 50degree line We write this in minus cylider as -7!.00 -1!.00 x140 meaning we start at -7!.00 at the 140 and move -1!.00 to get to the -8!.00!. If we started at the -8!.00 component of your lense we would do the opposite!. We would start at -8!.00 at the 50 degree mark and move +1!.00 to get to -7!.00!. This would be written in a different form as -8!.00 +1!.00 x 50!. Your eyes are not just a -7!.00 becuase that would be just a sphere with the same Rx in both meridians!. Your Rx is not like this at all!. Your sperical Equivalent would be -7!.50 for a singular spherical Rx, but you would not see really well out of it!. It would do in a pinch, but not all that great!. So, no, your prescription is not actually -7!.00!. it is actually -7!.00-1!.00x140Www@Answer-Health@Com
