Just go ahead and order.
You will probably have to change the prescription to minus cylinder form.
That would become:

0.00 - 2.50 x 18
-.25 -.50 x 180

You have a lot of astigmatism in the right eye (OD)

Have you been wearing glasses?

Optometrist



well,
have you filled out the whole order correctly as to the Rx?

If yes, then yes.. it's the right order.
This Rx... your R eye is pretty poor. You've got a moderate amount of Astigmatism in your Right eye, and your Left eye there's only a little bit of a prescription.

Have you worn glasses before? If NOT, then when you get these glasses, it may take a while for you to adapt to them, because it's going to make you sea-sick, nauseous and possible even head-achy.

I would cancel the Online Order, and get them from your Eye Doctor/Dispenser... that way, if there are changes to your Rx needed so that you can adapt to them and wear them without being ill, your glasses will be changed at no cost... whereas ONLINE... you'll be charged for everything.
