Jeez, went pistol shooting, could hardly focus on my front sight.

Here is the first prescription.
OD sphere -9.25 cylinder -2.25 axis 180
OS sphere -9.00 cylinder -2.75 axis 001
+200

Here is the one the optometrist told them to remake my lenses with
OD sphere -9.25 cylinder -2.25 axis 003
OS sphere -9.00 cylinder -3.00 axis 001
+200
Raise P_____ ht
(can't read this)

Does this tell you anything? From the little I know about eyeglass prescriptions, the two look very close? I assume +200 is actually +2.00 for near vision.

Also, can anyone help me figure out what glasses one would get, if one were planning to work seriously on one's shooting? Single vision, focused on three feet away (front sight)? What if one uses a red dot sight? Color for indoor ranges?

EDIT: actually I found this which addresses the shooting thing, very interesting.
