No matter what your eye condition, or how you choose to view the world, there are now prescription lenses that meet your unique lifestyle and vision correction needs. Eyeglass lenses that change as the light changes, from clear indoors to dark outdoors. Bifocal lenses that provide multiple fields of vision. High-index lenses that are thinner and lighter than ever before. Sunglasses to protect you from harmful UV rays. And progressive lenses that eliminate the traditional lines of multi-focal lenses.
The point is, while eyeglass lenses are prescribed to correct all kinds of vision problems, prescription lenses have come a long way—offering you the opportunity to truly customize your eyeglasses and make a statement about how you choose to look at the world.
How Do You Know Your Glasses Prescription?
You can tell your glasses prescription by reviewing the numbers provided after a comprehensive eye exam with an optometrist. The prescription includes measurements for each eye—such as sphere (SPH) for nearsightedness or farsightedness, cylinder (CYL) and axis for astigmatism, and sometimes an ADD value for reading vision. These details are determined using specialized equipment and vision tests that assess how clearly you see at different distances. Your optometrist will explain what each number means and ensure the prescription is tailored to give you the clearest, most comfortable vision possible.
