Hello, I am looking into joining the army. I was told that Spectacle or contact lens corrections must not be greater then -7 dioptres or +8 dioptres in any meridian.
My prescription says next to the Distance column (long sight)
Right: sph -0.50 Cyl -0.25 axis 100.0
Left: -0.75
are the numbers representative of the dioptres?
The near sightedness is all fine and so no numbers written in, the prescription is only slight correction for my long sight.
