What should a prescription order typically include?

A prescription order should typically include fitting dimensions and frame specifications because these elements are essential in creating eyewear that not only suits the patient's vision needs but also fits comfortably and securely. The lens prescription itself provides the necessary details for the corrective lenses, but without fitting dimensions such as pupillary distance or segment height, and without frame specifications such as frame style or size, the resulting eyewear may not provide optimal vision correction or comfort.

Including fitting dimensions ensures that the lenses are positioned correctly in the frame relative to the patient's eyes, which is critical for achieving the best optical performance. The frame specifications inform the choice of lens type and can affect the overall aesthetics and functionality of the eyewear. Thus, a well-rounded prescription order encompasses both the correction needed and the physical details required to deliver a finished product that meets the patient's needs.
