Your eyeglass prescription is a record of the lens correction measured for your eyes. Understanding the main terms can help you discuss suitable lenses and frames with an optical professional, but it does not replace an eye examination or fitting.
It is a written result from an eye examination that describes the optical correction prescribed for each eye. It can include lens power, astigmatism correction and, when needed, extra near-vision power.
SPH describes the main spherical lens power used for short-sightedness or long-sightedness.
CYL records the amount of astigmatism correction. AXIS describes its orientation. These values work together and should be copied accurately when lenses are made.
ADD is additional near-vision power, commonly used for bifocal or progressive lens designs.
PD helps position the lenses in relation to your eyes. Correct measurements matter particularly for higher prescriptions and progressive lenses.
Lens thickness, frame shape, optical-centre position and your everyday needs all influence comfort. People who work at screens, drive often, read extensively or use progressive lenses may benefit from a more detailed fitting conversation.
Arrange a professional review if you notice a sustained change in clarity, persistent headaches with visual tasks, double vision, eye pain or a major change in your visual comfort. Do not rely on an old prescription if your vision has changed.
