...people have suggested I can order glasses online. But how could I do that when the prescription looks like Greek?

Call them that year.

The whole point of my post/question is to learn to decipher doctor’s chicken scratch handwriting.

By calling them within a decent timeframe after the prescription is handed.

I think the whole point of the post was a bitchrant on how bad the handwriting is, and how much of a BS it is that they can't take the extra 15 seconds to make it legible. On which point, I'm 100% on board. It is BS and I have bitchranted to the doctors office about this same exact issue before, going so far as comparing my chicken scratch handwriting to calligraphy when compared to the script they provided.
