Reading an eye prescription?

Question

I have two horizontal sets of numbers for my eye prescription......but there is no indication which eye is which....before I order online, I assume the right eye is the top set of numbers?

Answer 1

Yep...the right eye is always first

The whole,  first horizontal line is the right eye.

Answer 2

If you don't have it already, you will also need your pupillary measurement, the distance between your eyes, to order in addition to the prescription.  I don't know of any doctors that routinely put that on their Rx's.
