Right Eye

(SPH)

SPHERE (SPH)

SPH, for Spherical, refers to the refractive correction in the prescription. Minus (-) are for near sightedness, and Plus (+) values are for far sightedness. If "PL" or "Plano" is written for the either SPH value on your prescription, you should select a value of 0.00.

OD-SPH is spherical correction for your RIGHT eye.

OS-SPH is spherical correction for your LEFT eye.

(CYL)

CYLINDER (CYL)

CYL, for Cylinder, refers to the strength of the correction for the astigmatism in the eye. It can be either positive or negative. If there is a CYL value on an eye, there must be an Axis value on that eye.

If "DS" or "SPH" or "spherical" is noted in the CYL space on your prescription, you have no astigmatism in that eye. In that case, enter 0.00 in both the CYL and Axis.

OD-CYL is cylinder correction for your right eye.

OS-CYL is cylinder correction for your left eye.

AXIS

AXS AXIS

XS, or Axis, refers to the angle of the correction for the astigmatism in the eye (if one exists) from 1 to 180. If there is an Axis value on an eye, there must be a CYL (Cylinder) value on that eye. If there is no Cylinder value or if the value is zero, the OD Axis value is entered as 0.00.

The Axis value is usually written as 3 digits, which means if your Axis value is 5, it is often written as 005. This Axis value is still 5, regardless of how it is displayed.

OD Axis is Axis correction for your right eye.

OS Axis is Axis correction for your left eye.

ADD

NV-ADD

Sometimes seen on your prescription as "NV, ADD, Near, Reading, or Reading Addition." "NV" stands for "Near-Vision." This number indicates the additional magnification that is added to the distance prescription to get the reading portion of the lens in a multi-focal prescription.

This may not apply to you, and if so please select the Not Required option.

Pupillary Distance

A simple way to measure this yourself...

Place a millimeter ruler across your brow and look in a mirror.

Align the ruler's zero to the center of your left pupil.

With the ruler straight and flat, record the distance from the center of your right pupil.

This distance is your PD.

PD Range

Pupillary Distance (PD) is the distance, in millimeters, between the center of one pupil to the center of the other. The PD is needed to manufacture your eyeglasses because it determines the exact optical center of the lens, which is the point where you look through the lens. PD is especially important for manufacturing progressive lenses.
