How to read your glasses prescription

How to enter your glasses prescription

OD is an abbreviation for the Latin term oculus dexter which means right eye. Notice that the right eye information is asked for first even though we typically read from left to right.

OS is an abbreviation of the Latin oculus sinister which means left eye. That will be referenced on the far right column of the prescription.

SPH is short for sphere. The sphere of your prescription indicates the power on the lenses that is needed to see clearly. A plus (+) symbol indicates the eyeglass wearer is farsighted. A minus (-) symbol indicates that the eyeglass wearer is nearsighted.

CYL is short for cylinder. The cylinder indicates the lens power necessary to correct astigmatism. If the column has no value (is blank), it indicates that the eyeglass wearer does not have astigmatism. If this is the case on your prescription, you can leave it blank when entering it in.

AXIS is a prescription will include an axis value for those with astigmatism. This number represents the angle of the lens that shouldn't feature a cylinder power to help correct your astigmatism.

ADD is short for "additional correction." This is where details about bifocals, multifocal lenses or progressive lenses would appear.

Hello là

Bienvenue à KITS Eyecare and Cafe

Venez nous rendre visite à notre nouveau magasin phare Kits et prenez une paire de lunettes et un café. Situé à l’angle de Yew et de Cornwall , en face de la plage Kits , à Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique.

Notre rôtissoire

Sacred Acre Coffee collabore avec des agriculteurs qui ont des plantes anciennes et cultivent certains des cafés les plus uniques et les plus savoureux au monde. Chaque étape du processus est envisagée pour s’assurer que les plantes demeurent saines et que la terre demeure vitale. Leurs connaissances sur la façon de récolter, de sélectionner et de livrer ces fèves extrêmement rares ont été transmises depuis des générations, et nous vous transmettons maintenant les résultats.

Venez explorer notre vaste sélection de lunettes, y compris notre propre marque KITS et nos options de designer de Tom Ford à Prada. Nos sympathiques associés de magasin se feront un plaisir de vous aider à trouver la paire qui convient le mieux à votre style et à vos besoins optiques.
