Chuck it is a three millimeter difference.  I had the opportunity to
check the optometrist measurements against my own which boosted my
confidence in measuring.  I measured my eldest daughter's distances
too and she was 4mm out of summitry.  Eccentric folks... :*)  All
Scottish decent on both sides.  Must be the cold damp conditions.

My figures were formatted oddly, but that's not how I presented them
to Zenni.

They came to me formatted as 35/64 32/67

I presented them as:
OD - 35
OS - 32
Distance - 67
Near     - 64

Zenni did not appear to be confused about the formatting and
reiterated the information just as I presented it.

Coastal Contacts had no such trouble, but mentioned that they had a
formula for calculating near focus instead of taking my number.  I was
curious about that, but I would think that accommodating a 3mm
difference from centre would be far more important than any
differences between their formula and my reality.
