Prescription Guide
Navigating the world of eyewear prescriptions can be simple and straightforward. Here's how GOODLUUK helps you understand and use your prescription:
What is a Prescription?
A prescription is a detailed document provided by your eye care professional that specifies the correction needed for your vision. It includes important measurements like sphere (SPH), cylinder (CYL), axis, and sometimes additional details like pupillary distance (PD).
Reading a Prescription
Understanding your prescription is key to choosing the right lenses:
Sphere (SPH)
Indicates the lens power needed for nearsightedness (-) or farsightedness (+).
Cylinder (CYL)
Measures astigmatism correction, if required.
Axis
Indicates the orientation of astigmatism correction.
Add
Additional magnification for multifocal lenses.
PD (Pupillary Distance)
The distance between your pupils, crucial for correctly aligning lenses.
Obtaining a Prescription
To get a prescription, schedule an eye exam with a licensed optometrist or ophthalmologist. They will assess your vision and provide a detailed prescription tailored to your needs.
What if I Don’t Have a Prescription?
If you don’t have a current prescription, you can:
- Schedule an Eye Exam: Visit an eye care professional to get your eyes checked and obtain a prescription.
- Use an Online Service: Some online platforms offer vision tests, but ensure they are reliable and follow up with an in-person exam if possible.
