Two months ago when wife got diagnosed with cataract the Ophthalmologist's measurements were-

Right: +0.5, -0.25, 103°

Left: +0.5, -0.75, 137°

I don't have copy of measurements from the 2 surgeons we visited after that but I have the latest surgeon's measurements. I have attached them here as I find it all very confusing, they seem completely different? No?

The only thing I can match is the eye pressure which was and still is 14.

    to answer your original question. as cataract gets worse the eye prescription changes. my right eye has always been -2.5 for life. now it is around -3.5 in the last 6 months.

    left eye did not change as changing the prescription did not improve the vision. that eye went straight to pretty much useless.
