What does my daughter's eyeglass perscription mean? What does she see withou!
Question: My daughter is 5 and recently got glasses. Her prescription is;
OD +5.00 (sphere), -4.00 (cylinder), 008 (axis)
OS +4.75 (sphere), -3.00 (cylinder), 002 (axis)
There is also something writtem in a box P.D and the numbers are;

Thank you for any help. She has had the glasses for almost a year now, and according to the optometrist she can still only see 20/50 even with her glasses on.

Wow! She's got quite a prescription! OD ( Latin, ocular dexter) is the right eye OS ( ocular sinister) is the left eye. According to her Rx (sphere), she is hyperoptic meaning she is farsighted. (has trouble seeing up close) The cylinder is the amount of astigmatism she has. (which is quite a bit!) Astigmatism is when the eye is shaped more like a football than round. It can affect how well we see up close. Most of us have it to a certain degree. The axis is the degree in which the eyeball is positioned in the orbit. The P.D. stands for pupillary distance. It the the distance between the two pupils and is essential when fitting for glasses. I used to be the managing optician for an optometrist before I stayed home to raise my two toddlers. I worked in optical for almost 10 years. Hope this info helps!
take her glasses and look through them.... thats sort of what she see's without.... not to well... does your daughter have a lazy eye or an eye that turns in or out?
