On how to read Eye Doctor's Prescription

Optometrists love to write in short hand. After doing my eyes checked at Rt. 35's COSTCO for new pair of glasses last week, I scanned the detail:

-875-100+85
-850-075+95

Both + 100

I'm doing progressive lenses, with transition lenses ($40) for a total of $195. In addition to the frame that we picked (around $$75)

According to online source, this is how I would read it:

O.D. = Oculus Dexter (Right eye): Sphere = -8.75, Cylinder = -1.00, Axis = 85, NV (Near Vision/reading) = +100

O.S. = Oculus Sinister (Left eye): Sphere = -8.50, Cylinder = -0.75, Axis = 95, NV (Near Vision/reading) = +100

For terms like Axis, etc. it's easy to look it up or please click here.
