Hello,
    I recently went to the eye doctor and got a prescription for
glasses and contact lenses. My first appointment, he gave me my
glasses prescription which was:

OD: Sphere -1.75
OS: Sphere -2.00 Cylinder -1.00 Axis 172
    He gave me a trial pair of contacts to try out after this first
appointment and said he would give me my contact prescription a week
later when I came in. The contacts seemed fine that first week.

   I received my glasses and they worked perfectly. Then I went back
the following week and the contact prescription he gave me read as
follows:

OD: BC 8.60 Diameter 14.00 Sphere -1.75
OS: BC 8.70 Diameter 14.00 Sphere -2.00 Cylinder -0.75 Axis 010

I didn't have my glasses prescription in front of me when he gave me
the contacts prescription so I didn't know to ask the difference in
the axis as I ordered the lenses from his office. A week later I
received the prescribed contacts and noticed that my OS(left eye), the
one with astigmatism was not as sharp as my right eye and the left eye
contact doesn't seem to fit as well as the right. It is as sharp as my
right eye with my regular glasses. My question is, did he make a
mistake changing the cylinder number and axis number when he gave me
the contacts prescription?  Any help would greatly be appreciated,
thank you.
