The correction is for both eyes, however, your left eye has astigmatism, which has to do the shape of the eye and how light reflects of it. You will definitely notice an improvement and "sharpness" in vision with glasses and I would definitely recommend them for driving. The prescription is for single vision glasses as opposed to bifocals or trifocals which would have both distance and reading correction. Your vision isn't super "bad", but you may not see well enough to pass a driver's vision test. You should be able to see the numbers on the bus clearly with glasses. For getting the presciption filled inexpensively - many Walmart and Target stores have Optical departments, also lots of chain Optical centers such as Lens Crafters often have special prices.<br><b>References : </b><br> You do need glasses to sharpen your distance vision.
