Similarly, is there a way to tell what prescription your glasses are?
When you look at your prescription for eyeglasses, you will see numbers listed under the headings of OS and OD. They are Latin abbreviations: OS (oculus sinister) means the left eye and OD (oculus dextrus) means the right eye.
Beside above, can you find out your glasses prescription from your contacts? The simple answer to this question is no – you cannot and should not use your glasses prescription to try to calculate your contact lens prescription. It should also be noted that not everyone who needs glasses can also wear contact lenses, it is important that you are examined separately.
Beside this, can I turn my sunglasses into prescription?
Not all sunglasses can be turned into prescription glasses. “Some prescriptions are too thick and don't look good on larger frames,” says Catherine Soriano, OD, an optometrist in California. “An optician can pop out the dark lenses on sunglasses to demonstrate how a frame will look with clear lenses.”
Can my optometrist withhold my prescription?
If you get a fitting for glasses or contact lenses, the eye doctor must give you a copy of your prescription – whether you ask for it or not. It's the law. The doctor can't require you to pay an extra fee, buy eyeglasses or contact lenses, or sign a waiver or form.
