I’m just a bit confused. I’ve found post about glasses perscriptions with names but I’ve just got one with purely numbers and sights l. Reads
+1.75 -2.25 x 179
+3.75 -3.00 x 173
How am I supposed to read and understand this?

On your right eye’s prescription:
The +1.75 is a correction do your distance vision. The plus prescription helps far sighted people and vice versa for minus. Think of a magnifying glass just in front of your eyeball.
The -2.25 corrects your astigmatism. Your eyeball is not a sphere so things look less clear. It makes things less fuzzy.
The 179 is the rotational axis that the cylinder curve in the lens is placed to correct the eyeballs aspherical shape.
The left eye is different because your eyes deteriorate over time at separate rates.
