What Does a Contact Lens Prescription Look Like?
A usual contact lens prescription will contain the lens brand name, base, diameter and any other information required. Standard lenses Example Acuvue Oasys R 8.4 / 14.0 / -2.00 L 8.4 / 14.0 / -2.50 Some lenses like the Acuvue Oasys above only have one possible base and diameter and thus the prescription could be written as follows. Acuvue Oasys R -2.00 L -2.50 Toric lenses to correct Astigmatism Example Purevision Toric R 8.7 / 14.0 / -1.00/-0.75 x 180 L 8.7 / 14.0 / -1.75/-1.25 x 10 or as the Purevision Toric has only one possible base and diameter it could be written as follows. Purevision Toric R -1.00/-0.75 x 180 L -1.75/-1.25 x 10 Only possible options for base and diameter are shown on the lens ordering page.
