Lens prescription guide.

We need your eyeglass prescription to create your ZEISS Optical Inserts – Prescription (sometimes also called distance prescription). This is why we ask you to upload it. Contact lens prescriptions or ones for task-specific uses (office or computer glasses, near reading glasses) don't qualify.

Your prescription should contain an issue date. If you have questions about your prescription, please ask your optometrist. ​​

A prescription usually has an issue and examination date and will be valid for 3 years after that date. If your prescription is older than 3 years, please see your optometrist. There are some exceptions where the validity is shorter, please check the expiration date.

Your lens prescription needs to include your full name.

Prescriber information​
Your lens prescription must include the prescriber's full name.

We need a copy or scan of the whole document (not only the values) to be able to validate your prescription. Please ensure all required information is included in the document in a way that is clearly readable and without being blurred or obstructed (i.e., all text is sharp).

If you identify a missing value or information, please make sure to ask your optometrist before uploading. Note, if Axis exists then Cylinder value need to be provided as well, and vice versa).
