glasses prescription

Lens strength specification

A glasses prescription is the written specifications from an eye exam detailing the corrective lenses needed to address vision problems.

It includes measurements for each eye—typically sphere, cylinder, and axis values for nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.

I need to update my glasses prescription before ordering new frames.

Prescriptions typically expire after one or two years, requiring a new exam.
