Optometry: why is it that not one of 3 optometrists i saw for an eye exam matched axis (were in -65 to 125 range) scores? affect my visual comfort?

Unusual: Some glass prescriptions are written in plus cylinder, and others in minus cylinder-- depends on geography. This is one reason why two prescriptions can have different numbers and be the same. That does not sound like your case, however. Some of those numbers have to be incorrect.
