Have you ever had an eye exam at the eyewear shop and your optometrist has given you an eyeglass prescription? And that’s when you know that you need/do not need a pair of eyeglasses - you might have nearsighted or farsighted, or perhaps that you have astigmatism. You probably want to discover more about it here. Now the real question is… do you actually understand how to read on the terms, such as - R,L, AX, SPH and CYL? Does any of these terms jargon to you? He-he. Continue reading this article, it helps!

You should understand R and L - it simply meant to indicate right eye and left eye. The power of both eyes could be different. SPH is the short term for Sphere, which to indicate the amount of lens power, prescribed to correct nearsightedness or farsightedness. You might also realise from the eye test results, you will get a minus (-) sign, or a plus (+) sign, or none. As for minus (-) sign, means you are nearsighted; for plus (+) sign or none, simply means you are farsighted.

CYL is the short term of Cylinder. This indicates the amount of lens power for astigmatism. If you have no astigmatism or it is so slight that it is not necessary to correct it with your eyeglasses, you probably will not have CYL appears in your eye test results. The number in the CYL may be preceded with minus (-) or plus (+) sign too. The minus (-) sign is for the correction of nearsighted astigmatism whereas the plus (+) sign is for farsighted astigmatism. Please note that the CYL power will always follow SPH power in an eyeglass prescription.

AX is the short term for Axis. This describes the lens meridian that contains no CYL power to correct astigmatism. The Ax is defined with a number of 1 to 180, and the number 90 corresponds to the vertical meridian of the eye and the number 180 corresponds to the horizontal meridian. The AX is the lens meridian that is 90 degrees away from the meridian that contains the CYL power.

If you are still unsure with your prescription, you can always ask your optometrist for clarification. Trust us, you need to know every single details about your prescription before you get yourself  a pair of eyeglasses. By doing so, you can also track back your eye test results and fully aware on your eyes health! (yes, your eyes could possible gets better!). Also, please understand that prescription on eyeglasses will be different with prescription on contact lens. We advise you to seek for the professionals to understand it better.

As we age, its a normal phenomenon that you may start to experience difficulty in reading. Words are getting blurry, you may need to enlarge the font size of your smartphone, or place newspaper much further away than your usual position so that you can see it clearly. This is what we called Presbyopia - where you need lenses that help your eyes to focus on the small and near objects. Myopia is a condition where your eyes are unable to correctly focus on objects at a distance. So and this again, you may need lenses that can address far objects into focus. If you have not been wearing any prescription glasses, you may find that reading glasses can help with the wordings, near words become clearer whereas distance objects would be blurry. On the other hand, if you have been prescription glasses for shortsightedness, meaning to see distance object, you may be able to read a book clearly by taking off your glasses. So yes, here’s the point, the trouble of “taking your glasses on and off” action, aren’t you feel annoyed yet?

Well, if you already experiencing it, you will definitely love this solution here - multi-focal lens. The type of lens that provide vision correction, helps you to see distance object and near object clearly with the same pair of glasses without the need to switch two different glasses already!

Fashionable eyeglass frames come and go, while you enjoy exploring on the fashion trends, you still need a frame that accentuate your best features! Instead if spending hours at the shop trying on dozens of frames before setting on a frame style, check out our professional tips here to find the right frames and lens for your face shape.

Picking the right frames

First, determine your face shape. Either you have a round face, oval, oblong, triangular or square.. you can definitely have the frames that suit your face shape. Round faces will appear slimmer with a narrow or rectangular frames. Oval faces look even more balanced to have a frame that are slightly wider than your forehead. A shorter frames that carry more depth over width definitely suit best for oblong faces. Lucky for triangular faces, they gonna look great with coloured frames or frames resembling “cat eyes” whereas square faces may choose to have frames that are slightly narrow, oval frames with less depth and more width. For a clearer and more detailed guide, you can check out here. 

Best frames for hair and skin colours

Yes, hair and skin colours can affect on your choices for frames too! Those with brown hair and medium to dark skin tones - any colour frame can go-to as long as they aren’t too strong. Little hint, tortoiseshell with a little gold or red is one of the great choices favoring browns. If you coloured your hair blond (or if you born with blond hair) and light-skinned - you probably should opt for medium brown or olive tortoiseshell frames. Basically any medium to light shades of green or blue can really blend well too! And if you have slightly gray or silver hair - blue and burgundy frames should look great on you, try to avoid silver and tortoiseshell frames that may look wash-out your skin tone.

So after get your right frames, time to consider for good lens. Polycarbonate lenses are thinner, lighter and more resistant to scratches then the plastic lenses. As we mentioned here plastic lenses not a good choice to be paired for your good frames. You may opt for lenses with lens coating, such as anti-reflective, UV protective or scratch-resistant coatings. Depending on the power of your eyesight, you can always go for thinner lens to enhance your look. For higher UV protection, go for photogrey lens.
