So do I have the problem? I have my eyes checked last year, keep meaning to get a pair of glasses.

Hi Richard

That prescription is exceedingly minor and is almost physiological in that the cornea is almost never completely spherical. You have mild against the rule astigmatism in your right eye and negligible refractive error in your left eye. I'm glad the person writing your script uses plus cylinder forms... meaning it's probably an ophthalmologist. Optometrists almost universally use minus cylinder notation. Just an occupational demarcation line based on historical conventions :)
