Understanding Prescriptions

Before getting into the prescription process; we need to understand how these prescriptions are written. Usually, people who experience eye issues visit ophthalmologists and optometrists to have their eyes checked. If their eyes have any disorder, these professionals will provide prescriptions in accordance with eye condition.

Prescriptions are written by specialists according to the eye exam. The prescription is made for vision correction. Prescriptions outline the corrections that your eyes needs in order to see as clearly as possible. Every prescription may look different and they may change according to the patient’s eye disorders.

There are four categories of vision correction:

• Emmetropia: Emmetropia is perfect vision. This term defines eyes that see perfectly and eyes that refracting the light onto the retina correctly without requiring any correction.
• Myopia: Myopia is also known as near-sighted vision and it develops when the eye has difficulties or blurriness in seeing objects in the distance. To correct Myopia, your optometrist needs to prescribe minus lenses to push the point of focus backwards to align the light onto the retina. Myopia is the most commonly seen eye disease within patients.
• Hyperopia: Hyperopia is the complete opposite of Myopia in which the eyes have difficulties or blurriness in seeing near objects and see the distance clearly. Even though Hyperopia is not as common as Myopia, it is also frequently present.
• Astigmatism: Astigmatism is an eye health condition that develops slowly and occurs when the retina and the lens don't curve equally. As a result, light doesn’t bend properly on the retina.

There are some terms that optometrists and ophthalmologists use when writing prescriptions:

OD and OS

Optical professionals use abbreviations like OD, OS, and OU when writing a prescription for eye conditions, glasses, contacts and eye medicines. OD and OS are abbreviations of the Latin words Oculus Dexter which defines the right part of your eye, and Oculus Sinister which defines the left part of your eye. The term Oculus Uterque comes from the Latin language, and is used to describe both eyes.

Understanding other terms in your prescription:

• Sphere (SPH): Sphere shows the quantity of lens power needed to correct your Myopia (nearsightedness) or Hyperopia (farsightedness). When you have a minus sign (-) on your prescription you have Myopia and when you have a plus sign (+) or any sign you have Hyperopia.
• Axis: Axis is the indication of astigmatism’s direction. In the case where the axis is 180 degrees, we can claim that you have horizontal astigmatism.
• Add: Add shows the extended power added to the rear of multifocal lenses to correct presbyopia. This number typically has an added power and will remain the same for both of the eyes.
• Prism: Prism is to compensate for eye alignment problems, a very small percentage of prescriptions include a prism. There are some abbreviations used to define prism direction: base up (BU), base down (BD), base in (BI), base out (BO).

The Importance of Regular Eye Test

Eye tests are important at every age to maintain stable and healthy eye health. Your eyes should be regularly checked to make sure you see as best and clear as possible. During these regular eye tests, optometrists will also check for potential eye disorders and diseases and diagnose them in the earlier stages. Vision and eye health has a crucial role in learning and development, therefore, we strongly suggest frequent eye exams for children as well as adults.

Eye tests are also critical as many vision threatening eye problems such as macular degeneration, cataracts and glaucoma have minimal symptoms until the disease has progressed. In these cases, early diagnosis and treatment is important to stop or slow down the progression of the disease and save your eyesight. During a comprehensive eye test, your optometrist will look for initial signs of these and other diseases. If there are any problems with your eyes such as red eyes, eye allergies, dry eyes, eye swelling, eye pain etc make sure to visit an eye doctor.

The type of eye test you have will change depending on your needs. You will be asked a series of questions before your test about your eye health and about any hereditary issues for certain conditions. Your vision will then be tested to see if you need glasses or if your current prescription needs to be improved. The health of your eye will be checked via these tests.

Regular eye examinations are crucial in terms of:

• Improving the quality of day-to-day life
• Detecting certain eye conditions
• Your optometrist being able to spot the signs of some broader health conditions with symptoms that affect the eyes
• General eye care
