Help with prescription
Hello! I was hoping that someone here could help me with understanding my prescription as I’m looking to order glasses online and don’t want to get it wrong.
I’ve been able to figure out that the 6/5 and 6/36 relates to each eye’s vision compared to average vision without my glasses and the N5/N18 is the text size I can comfortably read with each eye. It’s the rest I’m not sure about. The websites are asking about SPH and CYL and I’m just not sure what to input to get the right lenses. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: I’m in the UK, if that matters.
