Axis degree for contact lens prescription?
Recently I got an eye test done on my eyes and got a new pair of glasses done. I'm trying to order some contact lens online but I'm not sure what is the axis degree for my contact lens prescription.
I looked up the my prescription printed on the packaging of my nikon lens and it writes:
S -3.00 C - 1.00
-4.00 + 1.00
ne=1.60
75mm
T 1.1
It doesn't look like it has got the axis written? The axis degree on my existing contact lens is 180, I'm wondering if I could use the same?
Any advice will be much appreciated!
A contact lens perscription is NOT the same as your glasses perscription adn you can't translate them. The contact perscription also includes fit info. If you've already had a contact fitting then you need to ask your fitter for the perscription so you can order.
Wearing unfitted contacts is dangerous.
Unless it's your "typo"… You have + Cyl in one eye and -Cyl in the other… Doesn't make sense. One of the benefits of contacts is that they "hide" astigmatism (Cyl), and unless your contacts are "Torics" the axis is not important.
