- 2.75 is the sphere power
Just put them all in the order form in the same order.
- 2.75 – 2.25 Axis 170
D = Dipotre, (-) represent short sighted (+) represent long sighted
CYL = Cylinder = Astigmatism and they are always in (-)
Axis = Axis (from 10 to 180 in step of 10)
BC= Base Curve ( there is usually only one BC for most of the Toric disposable lenses)
Dia= Diamater, how big/small the lenses in size
Order contact lens online can be convinence but please be sure you have your regular eye check annualy and your eye doctor has given you the prescriptions to purchase those lenses online.
