Some difficult subjects: OD stands for the right eye, while OS represents the left eye. "+" symbolizes convex which is used for farsightedness; "-" stands for concave which is used for shortsightedness. The Arab numbers after "+" or "-" mean the diopter of lenses.

"()" after DS: the combination of the previous spherical mirror and the later cylindrical mirror "*" after DC: to separate the previous degree of astigmatism from the later axial degree of astigmatism that includes from 1 to 180 degrees.
