How to read your contacts prescription

How to enter your contacts prescription

OD is an abbreviation for the Latin term oculus dexter which means right eye. Notice that the right eye information is asked for first even though we typically read from left to right.

OS is an abbreviation of the Latin oculus sinister which means left eye. That will be referenced on the far right column of the prescription.

B.C. is short for base curve measurement indicates the back curvature of your contact lens, in millimetres. This is important for comfort, as the BC of your contact lenses should match your eye's natural curve as closely as possible to ensure a better fit when you are wearing your contact lenses.

DIA is short for "diameter," or the distance from one edge of the contact lens to the other. This is measured in millimeters.

SPH is short for sphere. The sphere of your prescription indicates the power on the lenses that is needed to see clearly. A plus (+) symbol indicates the eyeglass wearer is farsighted. A minus (-) symbol indicates that the eyeglass wearer is nearsighted.

CYL is short for cylinder. The cylinder indicates the lens power necessary to correct astigmatism. If the column has no value (is blank), it indicates that the eyeglass wearer does not have astigmatism. If this is the case on your prescription, you can leave it blank when entering it in.

AXIS is a prescription will include an axis value for those with astigmatism. This number represents the angle of the lens that shouldn't feature a cylinder power to help correct your astigmatism.

ADD is short for "additional correction." This is where details about bifocals, multifocal lenses or progressive lenses would appear.

How To Use Your Vision Benefits

Your insurance plan may cover vision expenses, or you may be eligible to use your flexible spending account (FSA) or health spending account (HSA), to reduce or completely cover the cost of your prescription eyewear and contact lens purchases. We have two options to make it easy for you to do that!

OPTION 1 - Use Your FSA Card At Checkout

Simply enter your FSA card number in the credit card field to apply your FSA to your purchase.

OPTION 2 - Submit An Insurance Form And/Or Receipt To Your Insurance Provider

Click here to provide your benefits details and we will fill out a form that you can easily submit to your provider. It will be ready for you in your account for every glasses and contacts order! Simply:

      1. Click on My Account
      2. Click on "My Orders" on the left
      3. Select insurance form
      4. *Optional: Select print receipt to get a PDF version of your receipt.

  • Supplier phone number: 1-866-982-5367

We do accept FSA (flexible spending) and HSA (health spending) credit cards as payment during the regular checkout process.

If you tried to use a FSA or HSA card on our website and it did not go through, please try calling the number on the back of the card. Let them know you are in the process of placing an order for prescription eyewear or contact lenses and that these are a medical device. This process is sometimes done to verify that you are using your card to purchase approved products.

They will then allow the system to accept your next transaction on our website. Alternatively, you can use a regular credit card to pay and we can provide you with the information required for reimbursement as outlined above.

A lot of providers or plans can cover prescription sunglass lenses or in some cases even sunglasses that have UV protection. You may also be eligible for reimbursement if you have a valid prescription specifically for sunglasses from your eye doctor.

As always, please make sure to check the details of your coverage with your insurance provider beforehand, so you know what's covered and how much you may be required to pay yourself.

Prescription eyecare is usually eligible. While we won't be able to deal directly with your insurance provider, we will provide you with everything you require to submit a reimbursement claim for your purchase as outlined above.

Alternatively, you can use your FSA (flexible spending) or HSA (health spending) credit card to pay directly on our site. Don't forget, FSA dollars expire if you don't use them all!

Please make sure to check the details of your coverage with your insurance provider beforehand, so you know what's covered and how much you may be required to pay yourself.
