You just had a comprehensive eye exam. This page translates every number from your visit into plain language, one tab at a time. Tap any section to dive deeper.
Visual acuity · Right eye
{{va.right.value}}
{{va.right.status}}
{{va.right.plain}}
20/20 means you can read at 20 feet what a person with normal vision reads at 20 feet. Many people see even sharper — 20/15 or 20/10.
What about without my glasses?
Your uncorrected visual acuity (without glasses or contacts) was {{va.right.uncorrected}} — that's your raw vision. The 20/20 is what your eyes can reach once we correct the focus with the right lenses. That's why you wear glasses.
Visual acuity · Left eye
{{va.left.value}}
{{va.left.status}}
{{va.left.plain}}
Both eyes at 20/20 means balanced, clear vision when corrected — great for reading, driving, and everything in between.
Glasses prescription · Right
{{rx.right.plain}}
Decode that number for me
SPH (-2.25): Sphere — the main correction. Negative means nearsighted (hard to see far away). Values around -2 are moderate.
CYL (-0.75): Cylinder — astigmatism. Small numbers like this are very common and easy to correct.
AXIS (180): The orientation of the astigmatism, measured like a compass. Just tells your lens-maker which way to angle the correction.
Glasses prescription · Left
{{rx.left.plain}}
Reading add
Extra magnification for close-up reading — comes with age (presbyopia).
This is the bonus strength added to the bottom of a bifocal or progressive lens. Around age 40+, your eyes lose some natural focusing flexibility, so we add this for reading.
Optic nerve
{{health.opticNerve.value}}
Normal
{{health.opticNerve.plain}}
The optic nerve is the cable that sends images from your eye to your brain. We checked its color, shape, and "cup-to-disc ratio" — all normal.
Retina
{{health.retina.value}}
Clear
{{health.retina.plain}}
The retina is the light-sensing tissue at the back of the eye. We looked for tears, bleeding, swelling, or signs of age-related changes. All clear today.
Cornea & front of eye
{{health.cornea.value}}
Normal
{{health.cornea.plain}}
Visual field
{{health.visualField.value}}
Normal
{{health.visualField.plain}}
What's next
Keep wearing your current glasses. Come back in 12 months for a comprehensive exam — or sooner if anything changes.
Call us any time if you notice sudden vision changes, eye pain, flashes of light, or a sudden increase in floaters.
