Essilor Vision Care Information

Here’s what an Essilor prescription lens might entail:

• Patient Information: Like any prescription, an Essilor lens prescription begins with personal details such as your name, date of birth, and any relevant medical information.
• Prescription Details: This section outlines the specific parameters needed to correct your vision. It typically includes:
• Sphere (SPH): Indicates the lens power needed to correct nearsightedness or farsightedness.
• Cylinder (CYL): Measures the degree of astigmatism present in your eyes.
• Axis: Specifies the orientation of the astigmatism correction.
• Addition (ADD): This is the additional correction required for close-up vision, commonly for reading.
