Whether you require corrective lenses or want to change your eye color for cosmetic reasons, our goal is to maximize your visual clarity and comfort.

 

 

Understanding your prescription

Myopia and Hyperopia:

For those who have trouble seeing objects at a distance (myopia) or up close (hyperopia), Desio offers specially designed lenses to correct these prevalent conditions. Our lenses come in a range of diopters, measuring the lens's power needed for clear vision.

SPH (Sphere): Indicates the lens power, with a negative (-) value for myopia correction and a positive (+) value for hyperopia.

D or PWR (Power/Prescription): Represents the degree of correction required.

 

Astigmatism:

Correcting astigmatism involves a specialized prescription that includes:

CYL (Cylinder): Measures the astigmatism degree.

Axis: Specifies the astigmatism's orientation.

Plano Lenses:

Plano lenses, meant for those who do not need vision correction but wish to enhance their eye color, are purely cosmetic and lack prescription power.

 

Understanding diameter and base curve

Diameter: This metric indicates the overall size of the contact lens in millimeters, affecting the comfort and fit by covering the eye's surface.

Base Curve: This measurement in millimeters dictates the lens's fit on the cornea, essential for proper alignment and comfort.
