What Prescription Do You Need for Progressive Lenses?

Ordering progressive lenses requires a current prescription that identifies the correction needed for your eyes. Depending on the prescription, it may include sphere, cylinder, axis, and an ADD value for near vision. The exact information varies by individual.

The ADD power is especially relevant to multifocal lenses because it indicates the additional power used for near viewing. Accurate pupillary distance and fitting information may also be required by the lens provider.

Before ordering, review Wearluxurys Progressive Standard Lenses and make sure your prescription is up to date.

Why Accuracy Matters

Progressive lenses contain different viewing areas, so correct positioning is important. A prescription alone may not provide every measurement needed for fitting. Follow the provider's measurement instructions and use the correct values from your eye-care professional.

If you are unsure about your prescription or ADD power, contact your optometrist or ophthalmologist. Never guess prescription values when ordering corrective eyewear.
