Understanding Your Eye Prescription
Have you ever looked at your eye prescription and wondered what all those numbers and abbreviations mean? Understanding your prescription is key to ensuring you get the right glasses or contact lenses for clear vision. At OptoDoc, we’re here to make eye care simple and stress-free.
Breaking Down Your Eye Prescription
When you receive an eye prescription, it typically includes a series of numbers and abbreviations. Here’s what they mean:
- OD (Oculus Dexter): Refers to your right eye.
- OS (Oculus Sinister): Refers to your left eye.
- SPH (Sphere): Indicates the lens power needed to correct nearsightedness (-) or farsightedness (+).
- CYL (Cylinder) & Axis: If you have astigmatism, CYL shows the correction power needed, and Axis specifies the direction.
- Add: If you need progressive or bifocal lenses, this number indicates additional magnifying power for reading.
Why Your Prescription is Unique
Your vision is as unique as your fingerprint. That’s why OptoDoc provides comprehensive eye exams using advanced technology to ensure your prescription is accurate and tailored to your needs.
