I got a perscription for glasses ... What does it mean and how bad is it (layman!


Question: I got a perscription for glasses !.!.!. What does it mean and how bad is it (layman's terms)!?
I am 18 years old !.!.!. Here is what the perscription says

O!.D: SPH: -0!.50 CYL: -0!.50 AXIS: 180
O!.S: SPH: -0!.25 CYL: -0!.50 AXIS: 180

I looked online and I understand O!.D!. means right eye, O!.S!. means left eye, etc!. But I do not quite understand what the numbers themselves are saying !.!.!. How bad is that compared to perfect vision, for example!?

Would this prescription benefit my driving!?

Thank you very much for the help!

Answers:
your prescription is super weak and you could go without glasses if it stays at this!. the cyl and axis means that you have astigmatism but the astirmatism power is so low it's not bad at all!.

If you did get glasses you would definitely see better in the distance everything will seem more crisp and sharp!. You would notice at night with glasses you see soo much better so give glasses a chance, at least at night if you're out driving!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They're not very bad!. My numbers are 2!.5 and 3!.75 and my prescription is fairly mild!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
