Jab aap kisi Eye Specialist (Mahir-e-Amraz-e-Chashm) ke paas jatay hain, to wo check-up ke baad apko aik parchi (Prescription) dete hain. Us par kuch ajeeb alfaaz likhay hotay hain jese OD, OS, SPH, CYL.

Is guide mein hum apko batayenge ke in sab ka kya matlab hai aur aap apna chashmay ka number khud kaise parh saktay hain.

1. OD aur OS ka kya matlab hai?

2. SPH (Sphere) - Nazar ki Taqat

SPH ka matlab hai ke lens ki power kitni hai. Ye Diopters (D) mein naapi jati hai.

3. CYL (Cylinder) aur Axis - Astigmatism

Agar apki prescription mein CYL likha hai, to apko Astigmatism hai. Iska asaan matlab ye hai ke apki ankh ki putli (cornea) bilkul goal nahi hai (shakal mein thori football jesi hai).

Axis: Cylinder ke sath hamesha ek "Axis" hota hai (0 se 180 degree tak). Ye batata hai ke cylindrical power kis angle par lagani hai.

4. ADD (Reading Addition)

Ye aam taur par 40 saal se bari umar ke logon ke liye hota hai (Presbyopia). Ye hamesha Plus (+) mein hota hai, bhale hi wahan sign na laga ho.

Misaal ke taur par, agar ADD +2.00 likha hai, to iska matlab hai ke reading glasses ke liye dur ke number mein +2.00 jama karna parega.

Sample Prescription
Eye SPH CYL Axis ADD
OD (Right) -2.00 -0.50 180 +2.00
OS (Left) -1.75 SPH - +2.00

Is example mein, patient ko dur ki nazar kamzor hai (Minus) aur reading ke liye Plus power chahiye.
