In the US, spectacle lens prescriptions will generally follow the following format:
Right Lens Sphere Power - Right Lens Cylinder Value - Right Lens Cylinder Axis
Left Lens Sphere Power - Left Lens Cylinder Value - Left Lens Cylinder Axis
Reading Addition Power
Other information may also be included on the written prescription, but the necessary information listed above will always be included in the format indicated.

What spectacle lens material?
Common spectacle lens materials include glass, plastic (e.g. CR-39), polycarbonate, and high-index materials. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of durability, weight, clarity, and cost. Polycarbonate lenses are often recommended for impact resistance, while high-index lenses are thinner and lighter than standard plastic lenses for higher prescriptions.
What are some examples of surface defects in spectacle lenses?
* Cracks * Scratches * Peeling (if there is a coating on the lens)
What is the best way to clean spectacle lenses?
The best way to clean spectacle lenses is to use a specialized lens cleaner and a lint-free cloth. Spray the cleaner on the outside and inside of the lenses and gently rub dry with the cloth. Lens cleaners are available at most opticians, but be sure to check that they are suitable for your lens type. If you don't have any lens cleaner, use clean tap water and rub the lenses with your fingers. Dry with a soft tissue of lint-free cloth. Warning:Never use any kind of soap or detergent on anti-reflective coated lenses. The coatings will break down, and this will damage the lenses beyond repair.
What is spectacle lens?
A spectacle lens is a lens worn in front of the eye, mainly used to correctmyopia, hyperopia,astigmatism.
What is the aberration affect spectacle lens?
Aberrations in spectacle lenses refer to imperfections that cause blurring or distortion in vision, such as spherical aberration (blurriness) or chromatic aberration (color fringing). These aberrations can occur due to lens design, material, or manufacturing processes, and can affect visual acuity and comfort for the wearer. Specialized lens designs like aspheric or high-index lenses aim to minimize aberrations for better vision.
Where did the hand lens were created?
The hand lens was invented in the 17th century by Dutch spectacle maker, Zacharias Janssen. He created the first compound microscope by combining lenses in a tube to magnify small objects.
How do you spell the plural for lens?
The plural form of "lens" is "lenses."
Which lens is used for projecting image on the screen?
Lenses for video projectors are normally designed and manufactured for each projector. Although some manuafacturers such as Sanyo, Barco and NEC make large projectors with interchangeable lenses, the lenses are still made for specific models. There is no standard for lens mounts as yet and it is unlikely that there will be a standard in the near future.
Is spectacles made of glass?
Not all... Some spectacle-makers use plastic lenses instead of glass.
What is surfacing of a spectacle glasses?
Surfacing of spectacle glasses refers to the process of shaping and polishing the lenses to meet specific prescription requirements. This involves grinding the lenses to the correct curvature and thickness, followed by polishing to achieve optical clarity. The surfacing process ensures that the lenses provide the necessary visual correction while fitting comfortably within the frame. Proper surfacing is crucial for optimal vision and lens performance.
Who is credited with the invention of the microscope lens?
The invention of the microscope lens is credited to Dutch spectacle maker Zacharias Janssen and his father Hans. They are believed to have created the first compound microscope with two lenses around the late 16th century.
How do you spell monicules?
This might be one, or the other, of these words: MOLECULES - smallest components of compounds, or groups of atoms of an element MONOCLES - spectacle lenses used for only one eye
