Want to buy contact lenses online, but what does the following prescription mean ?

Question

Spherical : Right : -450 Left:-050

Cylindrical: R:-050 L: -025

Axis : R:093 L:115

Answer 1

You'll have to get a copy of your contact lens Rx from your eye doctor. It should include the actual name of the brand that you are prescribed, as well as a couple of other measurements. Then you can go online and order them. I've beem getting mine from CoastalContacts.com, and it's way less than from the Dr office. THey've been good, so I would recommend them.

Answer 2

You can't order contacts with that Rx...that is a glasses prescription.

The numbers required for contacts won't be the same as you see there.

You also need the base curve and type of lens written on your prescription to get contacts.
