Just type in the details from your RX form paying particular attention to the + and - symbols, your prescription may not show values for every box on our form so if they are empty leave them alone.

Then just click the

If you have entered all details correctly the next screen will appear ( Below Right )

Your optician may have prescribed only distance or only near sight correction or maybe both in the form of Bifocals or Varifocals.

As an example I have selected the Middle ( VDU, Intermediate ) choice.

This brings to screen the lower half of this page, it allows you to select the format that your optician has written your RX in.

It may look a lot like your distance prescription ( a row of boxes with values entered ) or it may be just an ADD either under only one eye or under both eye's in the range between +0.75 and +4.00

At this point all your prescription details from your eye test are entered and recorded in our database.

You will see the different prescriptions provided for different focal lengths, you will also notice that you now have a different Pupillary Distance or each focal length, this is because as you focus on distances nearer to your eyes your eyes start to converge, making your Pupillary Distance slightly smaller.
