Putting you D&A prescription into plus cyl (same format as Optical Express):
Right: -1.50 / +0.25 x 90
Left: -2.75 / +0.50 x 90
Barely anything in it really, some minor differences in sph & cyl. If you're thinking of getting glasses, go with the prescription that did the most thorough tests.

Thank you Helenut!
Both tests seemed to be quite thorough. The test at Optical Express was one of those where the letters are projected onto a screen on the wall opposite, whereas the one at D&A had letters reflecting on a mirror opposite.
Is one system more accurate at determining a prescription than the other?

Mine seem a bit different from most of what you guys have posted.
My test was done at vision express:-
Right: Sph Plano | Cyl -0.25 | Axis 170
Left: Sph -3.25 | Cyl -1.25 | Axis 100
