Explanation / Answer

Positive sign in the spherical prescriptions means lauren is farsighted means she is having problem in focusing on nearby object. With +2 prescription, the focal length of lens will be 1/2 = 0.5 m. It means lauren uses lens to see objects within 0.5 meters from eye. Further away from 0.5 m , objects may not seem clear with eyeglasses on.
