Eyeglass prescription

[redbird]

For my future reference, idea borrowed from flick:


D.V. O.D. Spherical +4.50 Cylindrical -2.00 Axis 50
D.V. O.S. Spherical +3.50 Cylindrical -2.00 Axis 95

N.V. O.D.+2.00
  O.S. +2.00

(That is, for the N.V. section it just has "+2.00" scrawled in the "Spherical" column over the O.D. and O.S. lines.)

I am fairly sure that D.V. is distance vision, N.V. is near vision, and moderately sure that O.D. is the right eye ("dexter") and O.S. the left ("sinister").

[This is from two days ago; I haven't filled it yet.]

Yes, OD is your right eye and OS is your left eye and +2 is your near vision correction.

Good idea!

One important detail missing is whether the prescription was written by an optometrist (DO) or an ophthalmologist (MD). I recently was astounded to learn that they express cylinder values in opposite fashion 180 degrees apart.

Interesting.

This doctor is an M.D.
