Can you tell me what the + or the - mean on my sph section of my eye exam?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Refractive errors: Include myopia and hyperopia. Myopia, or nearsightedness, is designated by a "-" on your prescription, while hyperopia, or farsightedness, is designated by a "+". These symbols are followed by a number which indicate how significant your correction need is.
