Hey guys I need some help. I'm trying to order new glasses online at ZenniOptical, however I don't know what to make of my eye glass prescription.

In the past I've simply gotten my glasses at Costco, and they take care of pretty much everything.

The prescription reads
0D - 550 - 050 x 005
0S - 550 - 050 x 180

If you can help me out or maybe I'm lucky enough to find someone studying Optometry on here who would be nice enough to help, I'd appreciate it.

Are you sure the first numbers aren't OD and OS for right and left, not 00 and 05? It could be saying -5.50 spherical -0.5 cylindrical and 005/180 axis.

You could roll the dice, it's only gonna set you back like 4 bucks off zennioptical, or go ask someone at a glasses center to interpret the prescription for you. Or maybe someone here will be able to help out

You're right! I feel stupid about that. They looked like a 0 and a 5, but now I can clearly see it's a D/S.
Your post really helped.
Thank you!

Whoa, how much does the whole package cost (with lenses and frames)?!

It looks ridiculously cheap holy crap....I really might consider buying from that site--thanks for mentioning it, haha.

Hope someone can help you! Try asking whoever gave you the prescription, if possible.

You can get your PD from a local Lenscrafters, they measured mine for free using a pupilometer.

Also, if you're not entirely set on Zenni, I'd recommend Warby Parker

Quality is decent for the price ($95 flat) - I was happy with them.

Good luck

I'll probably go tomorrow to to Lenscrafters to see how much they'll charge me to measure my PD. Hopefully free like your case.

Everyone on Reddit raves about Zenni. Thanks though!

So does anyone have any suggestions of what kind of lense material I should order? Is standard fine or should I get polycarbonate?
