common prescription abbreviations:

It is common for doctors to write their prescription in slight different format, here is some common prescription abbreviations:

D.S. or DS = diopters sphere (means you have sphere power only)

X = axis; X 60 means AXIS 090

Pl or pl or plo = PLANO; it's a placeholder for the number zero

O.U. or OU = both eyes

NV or NVO = near-vision or near-vision-only; your doctor is recommending "reading-only" glasses

-50 = -0.50

+100 = +1.00

If you still do not understand ANY part of your prescription, please contact us to ensure everything is entered correctly.
