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.

Check the measurements on your current frames. The numbers found on the inside of the temple will be the eye size (lens width), followed by the bridge size, then the temple length. You can then order any frames that are around the same size.
If you try on glasses at a store, write the numbers down for reference.
There are a few factors that will affect this. The most important will be your face shape. Check the image above to see which you might be. You can also consult with one of our friendly staff.

Rectangular
Round frames are good for softening the lines of a square face.
Oval
If you have an oval face, consider yourself fortunate: almost any fame should suit your face.
Round
If you have a round face, a square shape looks great and minimizes roundness.
Heart
If you have a heart-shaped face, choose frames with low temples and lenses that get wider at the bottom. This will add fullness over the lower half of your face.
Triangular
People of triangular faces, with their wide jaw lines, are complimented by cat's eye shapes.
Sometimes the hardest part about buying new glasses is choosing a frame style to suit your face. Experts say the best thing to keep in mind is to "think opposite". Try frames that are reverse shape of your face and see what they do for you. It's likely they will flatter you.
