Single vision is the most common type of prescription lens. This lens type features a single field of vision, or
one prescription power throughout the entire lens, for correcting nearsightedness (myopia) or
farsightedness (hyperopia).
Bifocal

A bifocal lens has two different areas of vision which are divided by a line that sits across the lens. The top portion is usually for distance and the bottom portion is for reading.

acceptable level (usually 20/20).

your eye doctor has chosen not to prescribe cylinder power.
Axis (AXI)

The axis indicates the orientation of astigmatism measured in
degrees from 1 to 180. If you do not have a cylinder power on your
prescription you will not have an Axis number either (leave it blank)
