    Thanks! Out of all the videos I watched about how to read a prescription, this one made the most sense to me!

    I can look at that Person in the video "All Day". That you for teaching me something new, as a military veteran I believe in learning new terms and things. However, the one thing that has always alluded me was that darn Eye Dr. Prescription. Thanks for the lesson. The US Army needs Doctors/Teachers like you.

    When prescription is Filled, the ADD is added to the Sph algebraic method.
    This is to get your READING/Bifocal prescription.
    Yes, the ADD prescription is placed on top of the Sph. -3.00 Sph with an ADD of +2.50. THEN your reading prescription is -0.50

    Hi. Could you help me please. In the DIST. P.D I have in my prescription OD = 28,50 and in OS = 31,0. You show in this video only 1 number (60). Does this mean I have to summarize these 2 amounts? Thanks.

    uhm i actually used her form of CYL and AXIS bc im ordering lenses online and idunno mines and my grades are just the same in that form, since the pesky eye doctor didn’t hand me something like this, and now i had them and they’re pretty good tbh😂

  • @brandonmtb3767
    @brandonmtb3767 5 лет назад +2

    So the only number that matters for contact lenses is the sphere power?

    • @markylon
      @markylon 2 месяца назад

      not always, you can have astigmatism and ADD, you also need to know the base curve and diameter. Contact Lens prescriptions are very different.

  • @andrewalberti9121
    @andrewalberti9121 7 лет назад +6

    Hi! In the last 3-4 years, I had two prescriptions, and two respective
    glasses made based on such prescriptions. I am kindly asking for an
    advice because I was never fully happy with both of them. To quickly
    give an idea, the first pair was made back in December 2013, whereas the
    second pair was made in May 2016. I always found the first pair of
    glasses (Dec. 2013) somehow too weak, whereas the correction made by the
    second pair (May 2016) felt too strong... First prescription of the
    glasses made in 2013: Right: +0.25, (-0.75, 0°), Left: (-0.50, 0°), no
    spherical lens correction therefore for the left eye in this case. The
    second prescription, made in May 2016, was as follows: Right: +0.5,
    (-0.75, 175°), Left: +0.5, (-0.75, 175°). The first thing I noticed is the
    difference in the axis: does 0° and 175° imply a similar correction, or
    not at all? Concerning the other values, I realize the differences are
    not that big, but I never felt too comfortable with both of them
    (although I always preferred to use the older one). I plan to buy a
    third pair of lenses, and I am sorry to say it, but I kind of lost trust
    in the two doctors who made such prescriptions. In both cases I waited
    almost two months for having my eyes tested, and in turn the exams were
    always so quick (5 minutes) and didn't give me time to even understand
    the exam. For this reason, would anyone kindly have some advice for the
    next lenses, given the information above? Thank you.

  • @RJMEL24
    @RJMEL24 2 года назад

    Great presentation. Easy to understand and straight forward. Thank you.
    I recently had cataract surgery. My physician two months later has completed my final exam and issued me a new eye glass prescription. My left eye is fantastic. I am 75 and feels like I can see like I am 25 but will still need readers. My right eye is blurry and thus I assume the need for a new eyeglass prescription. My numbers for the right eye are -1.00, +1.50, 010 and 2.50 Add. I was told I have a bit of Astigmatism in my right eye. My left eye merely says “Plano”. I assume this means I am 20/20 and no need for correction other than the 2.50 magnification to read better at near conditions. Am I reading this correct? ……and my prescription also says “Vertex Distance: 13.75”. Is this the same as what you call Pupil Distance (PD)?

      @raknax8462 4 года назад

      He minus means your nearsighted and 0:50 means that’s the prescription you need to wear and cyl means your eye is shaped like an American football 🏈 like that x

    @gregthegroove 5 лет назад +1

    Out of all medical departments/specialty medicine, vision doctors or techs are the absolute worst when it comes to explaining what’s going on to a patient. I know it happens all cross the board sometimes, but even SURGERY/PRE OP/POST OP where it’s the most complicated to explain, does better. I work in medicine, so I’ve heard it all. We ALL use medical terminology to communicate with each other back office, and I know average stuff about the eye, but my good god. These docs gotta bring vision out of the Stone Age and figure it out cause that’s the biggest complaint from patients. Maybe my doctor wasn’t all that good, but I’ve seen it all across the board, and it happens ALL THE TIME

  • @VRUAN
    @VRUAN 4 года назад

    You did not explain what those numbers meant. For example: Axis=080, axis means blurry, but 080?

    • @badrikokaia4603
      @badrikokaia4603 Год назад +1

      Axis doesnt means blurry it means in which degree you have astigmatism and astigmatism means blurry but it depends how high is your astigmatism.

  • @blackyrocky7438
    @blackyrocky7438 5 лет назад

    Are you sure that farsightedness means plus power and nearsightedness means minus power??

    • @allybeetulk1457
      @allybeetulk1457 5 лет назад

      Yes. The plus is because farsighted people need converging (magnifying) lens to correct the problem. The plus is for the magnification on the lens, rather than the actual eye. Reverse for nearsightedness, where the lens are diverging or minimising and therefore a minus.
