So, the other day I stumbled upon this article that allows one to quickly calculate a contact lens RX on the fly from someones spectacle lens RX.(/how-to-rapidly-determine-a-contact-lens-prescription/)
I'm curious if my calculations match up with old contact Rx. Here's my spectacle lens Rx and here's what I calculated for the contact lens.
Spectacle
OD: sphere -1.00, Cylinder -2.75, Axis 180
OS: Sphere -0.50, Cylinder -2.50, 200 (O.D. wrote 002...I assume typo)
Contact lens I calculated, let me know if I did this right.(I assume BC/Dia same from dated contact Rx)
OD: -.75, -2.25 x 180 BC 8.6 Dia 14.5
OS: -.5 - 2.0 x 200
The poster said it should be .25 off, for some reason, but mine matches. My dioperes match to my Rx exactly but both of the cylinder are off by -.5 How off am I?
Thanks!
