Thanks for the info. It helps alot. I wrote the script wrong in my above post, or I misunderstood what he said over the phone. Apparently, the right eye, cylinder is "05". No "+" or ".". I tried to order from eyebuydirect (to get the BOGO) offer, but "05" wasnt listed. Any idea what "05" means?
Also, does anybody know how I would order readers with this script? Would I just enter the full script, pick the option of reading glasses and let the site do the math? Would they adjust the PD or would I need to do that? Again--thanks for any help! On Jul 28, 9:04 am, brandel <[email protected]> wrote: > It seems very likely that 71 is the pupillary distance.
