Fitting Instructions

Payne Glasses understands that it can be hard for people to understand all the details involved in an eyeglass prescription. Payne Glasses has a page on its website dedicated to educating customers on the basics of ordering glasses online.

If you are struggling to read and/or understand your prescription, a segment of this page explains what all of the commonly used acronyms mean. Some of these include OD, OS, OU, SPH, and CYL.
