ZEISS Optical Inserts.

The following guide explains the prescription information you need to provide when ordering ZEISS Optical Inserts.¹

Review your distance prescription.

Ensure you have your everyday eyeglass prescription where all information is clear and valid before uploading.¹ Please note that not all documents look the same. Information may be displayed differently.

This is the information we will require to make your ZEISS Optical Inserts

1. Your personal information

Full name
Date of Birth

2. Your vision correction details for eyeglasses.
If you have a value in Cylinder, then you also need to have a value in Axis, and vice versa. Please ensure your values are within range using our Prescription Checker widget.

3. Prescription issue date

4. The prescriber’s information

Name
Phone number
Address (Singaporean)

^{* If you don't have a complete prescription document, please visit your eye care professional to obtain one.}

To order ZEISS Optical Inserts you will need a distance prescription, which is what is used for your everyday eyeglasses. Contact lenses or task-specific prescriptions (e.g. Computer or office lenses) do not qualify.

The prescription type is usually indicated on the document, in places like the (a) prescription title, (b) notes, checkboxes or (c) footnotes. Take a careful look at your prescription to see if it contains any of the following words:

Computer glasses
Near vision
Office lenses
Verifocal
Bifocal
Progressive
Occupational lenses Enhanced reading glasses

If any of these words are present, you don’t have a distance prescription, and you’ll need to request one to your eyecare professional. If you are still unsure of your type of prescription, please consult with an eye care professional.
Sphere (Sph) is the main correction and values must include minus ("-") sign for nearsightedness or plus ("+") sign for farsightedness.

Cylinder (Cyl) is an optional correction for astigmatism with values either negative with a minus ("-") or positive with a plus ("+") sign. When both eyes have this additional measurement the signs will always match from eye to eye.*

Axis (a) refers to the angle of the correction for the astigmatism (Cyl) in the eye from 1 to 180 degrees and is always linked to a cyl value.

Addition (Add) refers to additional plus magnification that is needed for vision up close.

^{*If you have a value in Cylinder, then you also need to have a value in Axis, and vice versa.}
