Single Vision Prescription
If your prescription is like the following, you must choose a single vision type and fill in the correct information, like the example below.
Single Vision Prescription With Prism
If your single vision prescription is like the following one, you also need to fill in the prism information in addition to all other information, as in the example below.
Progressive Prescription
When filling in your prescription, accuracy is key. If your prescription aligns with the following, it's crucial to fill in the information exactly as shown in the example below.
For sample 1, you need to fill in the corresponding values.
For sample 2, you must change +225 to +2.25, -150 to -1.50, -125 to -1.25, and -50 to -0.50. These changes are necessary to ensure the correct prescription is filled, then fill in the corresponding values.
For sample 3, you need to follow a specific process. Use Near O.D. +0.75-Distance O.D.-1.50 or use Near O.S.+1.00- Distance O.S. -1.25 to calculate the ADD +2.25 value. Once you have this value, fill in the ADD blank. This knowledge will empower you in the filling process.
P.S.: the three different prescriptions get the same prescription lenses.
