My Online World

Modeled by my DS. ahaha!

Bought this new frame few weeks ago to a nearby Optical shop, but didn’t pursue in having the lenses’ grade done in their shop since the price is way too high and out of the budget, the optometrist told me that since my eyes grade is too high, the lenses are on special order basis. It will take 2 – 4 weeks before it can be done. lenses will come in plastic and had it Ultra-thinned. She billed me P7k, just for the lenses! That a big no for me! since the frame costs hefty already, we decided to go to P. Paterno in Quiapo, it is where you can find lot of suppliers of Optical shops. Went to Abesamis Optical shop, wherein I had my lenses done before. Got a good deal on the lenses, half the price from where I bought my frames! It really pays enough to get around to find a few good deals.

And the prescription:

I am actually clueless on what these numbers mean. lol! but the optometrist told me that my eyes grades are way up high. So I need to take extra care of it.

and so I searched the net for abbreviations and terms of prescription HERE

• D.V. is an abbreviation for “distance vision”. This specifies the part of the prescription designed primarily to improve far vision. In a bifocal lens, this generally indicates what is to be placed in the top segment.

• N.V. is an abbreviation for “near vision”. This may represent a single-vision lens prescription to improve near work, or the reading portion of a bifocal lens. Some prescription forms use “ADD” in place of “N.V.” with a single box to indicate the additional refractive power to be added to the spherical of each eye.

• O.D. is an abbreviation for oculus dexter, Latin for “right eye.” (Some eyeglass prescriptions simply say “left” and “right” instead of “O.S.” and “O.D.”) Oculus means “eye” (as in “oculist,” an old term for an eye doctor).

• O.S. is an abbreviation for oculus sinister, Latin for “left eye”.

• O.U. is an abbreviation for oculi uterque, Latin for “both eyes”.

• A spherical correction corrects refractive error of the eye with a single convergent or divergent refractive power in all meridians.

• A cylindrical correction corrects astigmatic refractive error of the eye by adding or subtracting power cylindrically in a meridian specified by the prescribed axis.
