DIOPTRX™
How to Choose DIOPTRX™ Models
Your prescription may look like this, with different numbers.
| SPHERICAL | CYLINDER | AXIS | ||
| Right Eye | O.D. | +1.50 | -0.50 | 45 |
| Left Eye | O.S. | -0.50 | +1.50 | 135 |
Simply choose DIOPTRX™ to match the cylinder (astigmatism) value of your preferred viewing eye. In the example above, you would choose 0.5 diopter model for your right eye and 1.5 diopter model for your left eye.
- Ignore spherical and axis values.
