Prescription (RX) Form & Terminology Guide

To ensure perfect vision, please provide all details from your prescription. Here's what each term means:

Abbreviation Stands For What It Means
OD Oculus Dexter Your Right Eye measurements.
OS Oculus Sinister Your Left Eye measurements.
Spherical (Sph) Spherical Power The main power to correct nearsightedness (-) or farsightedness (+).
Cylindrical (Cyl) Cylindrical Power The power to correct astigmatism. If you have none, this may be blank or "SPH".
Axis Axis The orientation of your astigmatism correction (1° to 180°).
ADD Addition The additional magnifying power for reading/close vision. Needed for bifocal/progressive lenses only.
PD Pupillary Distance The distance (in mm) between the centers of your pupils. Crucial for proper alignment.
💡
Quick Tip: For standard Single Vision lenses (distance only), you typically only need Sph, Cyl, Axis, and PD. The ADD value is required for reading/multifocal lenses.
