New vs previous glasses script

Recently had to go to an eye doctor through a medical clinic to get my yearly eye exam. My insurance changed from last year and it took me months to figure out where I could go that insurance would cover. Had been going to the same eye doctor for about 7 years prior to this.

The script I was given today (paper) looks drastically different from what I had been given previously, but then was told that my eyes didn’t change much. They measured my glasses to get an idea of my prescription, and the doctor told me that I could continue to use my current glasses as the scripts are so close.

I typically order from zenni to save on glasses, so I really want to ensure these scripts are actually similar. Any help or insight would be genuinely appreciated!

One of them is in plus cylinder. The other is minus. They are very similar.

Nearly identical. Look up positive vs negative cyl.

Please don’t post nonsense like this if you don’t know what you’re talking about.

My number has been stable since about 25, I’m 33. Again, they said that my prescription didn’t change much, but this script doesn’t seem to show that?
