17. Please explain my prescription?
Your prescription contains various information to ensure you get the best vision possible out of your spectacles. Don't worry if your prescription doesn't contain all of the following values, not everyone has an astigmatism for instance.
The sphere specifies the strength of lens required to correct your focus - a plus sphere to correct long-sightedness (hyperopia - difficulty focusing on close objects) and a minus to correct short sightedness (myopia - difficulty focusing on distant objects.) The cyl and axis compensate for astigmatism.
So what's astigmatism? Astigmatism is where the eye is shaped slightly like a rugby ball not a perfect sphere like a football. This just means the eye has difficulty focusing at certain angles.
The Add, short for Reading Addition, is the additional correction required for reading, this can be used to make either reading glasses or bi/vari-focal glasses.
A Prism is to try and correct a lazy eye and indicates a more delicate condition. If your prescription contains a prism we recommend you have your frames glazed at your opticians because accurate measurements will need to be taken when you're wearing the frames. We are happy to sell you the frames unglazed of course.
The PD, or Pupilliary Distance, is the distance in millimeters between the center of your pupils. This isn't a major factor at lower prescriptions (roughly - spheres and cyl's less than two) unless you have exceptional features. For higher prescriptions it is recommended because it enables us to make your spectacles as effective as possible. You will sometimes see two values, one PD at distance and one PD for near vision (reading.) If you do just put the details in the notes section of your prescription.
