Hello, I went to my eye Dr yesterday to get new glasses and I asked for my prescription today morning but they gave me this numbers LF eye -4.00 -1.00 180
RG eye -1.75 180
Why does my left have 2 different numbers but my right just one?
Thanks!

That doesn’t make sense. Can you take a picture of your actual prescription and show us? Either that or you should ask your eye doctor, not us.
The three numbers for your left eye make sense:
1. Sphere power for the whole eye
2. Cylinder power to adjust for astigmatism
3. Axis of rotation along which the cylinder power is applied
But having two numbers for your right eye doesn’t make sense, *unless* that’s your eye doctor’s way of saying “You have no astigmatism in your right eye,” which I suppose might be possible. Again, you should ask them.
Edit: Wait, I just noticed that *both* axis values are 180. You need to ask your eye doctor, because now I’m not super confident in my answer.
