How to translater my prescription

People who come to online store will encounter problems of reading their prescription.  It seems very difficult and need careful translation. However,  scriptglasses will tell you that it is not that difficult as you think.

Every prescription has fixed form, even if they came from different doctor or different countries.
1, Top line is for right eye.( Maybe there's OD or maybe not)
2, second line is for left eye.( Maybe there's OS or maybe not)
3, Each line will have three numbers( sphere, cylinder, axis) or one number( sphere only). the cylinder and axis are combined together. Cylinder indicates you need astigmatism correct, and axis tells the direction of correction.
4, Pupil distance, or PD. It is a number around 60, or two numbers around 30. Some doctor like to write in whole and some like separate them. And there might be no PD on your prescription. Do worry, write to service@missunlight.com, they will tell you how to measure it.
5, special signs or abbreviation. Like“SV" "NV","PL","plano". Try to find it here http://www. scriptglasses.com/index.php/How_to_read_my_prescription.html
