Transposing an RX



By now, you probably have seen a prescription similar to this...

You might have even noticed that some prescriptions have a ‘+’ in the cylinder part of the prescription.  When you see these prescriptions they typically come from an ophthalmologist. Here’s how to transpose an RX.  (Remember the axis can only be between 1-180.)

 

Transpose the following prescriptions.  Remember if there is a negative cylinder, it doesn’t need to be transposed.  After you’re finished turn it into your trainer.(Use a blank piece of paper)





-2.00+1.25 x 150

+1.75+1.25x020

-5.75+2.50 x080

+3.25+0.25x180

-1.25+1.25x005

-1.25+0.50x157

+2.25+0.25x008

-5.00-2.25x178
