I'm trying to get a new pair of glasses online, but have seen a funny symbol on my prescription and not sure what it means.

It is in the SPH column and looks like a sideways 8, stretched a bit.

The rest of my prescription has numbers on,and I am flummoxed! So hoping there is some clever person who can tell me what this means.

Thanks in advance for any help!
