this prescription is an obvious case of  

Definition

anisometropia (first transp rx)

OD SPH POWER -4.50 -1.50=-3.00

OD IS NOW -3.00 CLY BECOMES -1.50 MOVE AXIS 90D

YOU HAVE OD AS -3.00 -1.50X90

OS SPH POWER -2.25 -1.00=-1.25

OS IS NOW -1.25 CLY BECOMES-1.00 MOVE AXIS 90D

YOU HAVE OS AS -1.25 --1.00X135

is is an anisometropia because

there is more the 2D between OD & OS
