Ordering of ophthalmic lensUse a separate form for each order.
Do not include unnecessary data or information on any forms if such data are not necessary or applicable to the order.
Lens InformationWhen written on a blank prescription pad,
such a prescription would be written with the left lens value directly below that of the right lens.
OD: −3.00 D sph OS: −2.75 −1.50 × 175
Always use at least three figures for the sphere and cylinder components.
If the dioptric unit is less than 1.00 D, use a prefatory zero before the decimal point, as for example, +0.75 D.
Carry figures two places after the decimal point, as for example, +2.00 D (not +2 D) or −1.50 D (not −1.5 D).
State the axis as x, but do not put a degree sign after the numbers representing the cylinder axis because it may be mistakenly read as an extra zero.
