What is the y?

What is the backwards f?

What are the preceding symbols?

What the hell is that weird symbol in the Cylinder column?

What TF does any of this even mean?

I mean fuck, everyone tells me to order glasses online, but what the fuck does any of these cryptic symbols mean?

This is not right. You missed the negative signs on the cylinder corrections. This will worsen OP's astigmatism.

This is probably the most helpful comment I've received here. Looks about right, I guess, I think..

Thank you. 👍

Thanks for the reminder link, but I'm not sure how anyone would consider my response questions as arguing..?

I'm legit trying to learn to read doctor's hieroglyphics, otherwise I have no way to order online as so many people over the years have suggested.
