Have the opticians scammed me ?

I’ve been given some “concentration glasses” as I get eye strain and headaches a lot. They just seem like I’m looking through actual glass though, like fake glasses 😆 this is my prescription, can anybody explain it to me ?
thanks

So the optician said something like my left eye lens isn’t working properly so the right eye is making up for it which is what’s causing the headaches ? When I watched tv at night I find myself having to really open my eyes and they feel like they’re squinting, is that makes sense? And when I put the glasses on it does get better.
The reason I’m asking is because my dh tried them on and said they must be plain glass lol

If your eyesight is better when you wear them. They're obviously working. Opticians aren't in the habit of giving out fake prescriptions.
