If you wear glasses and want to switch to contact lenses for weak eyesight, you have more options in Pakistan today than ever before. This guide covers everything: how to read your prescription card, which brands suit which prescription range, what comfort features matter, current 2026 prices, and how to order online without visiting an optical shop.
What Are "Weak Eyesight" Lenses?
"Weak eyesight" contact lenses (also called prescription lenses, power lenses, or vision-correcting lenses) correct the same refractive errors your glasses correct. Three main eyesight problems and the lens type each needs:
- Myopia (nearsightedness) — far objects are blurry. Corrected by negative-power lenses (-0.50, -1.00, -2.00 and so on, down to -10.00 or higher). Most Pakistani buyers have myopia.
- Hyperopia (farsightedness) — near objects are blurry. Corrected by positive-power lenses (+0.50, +1.00, +2.00).
- Astigmatism — blurry vision at all distances due to irregular cornea shape. Corrected by Toric lenses requiring SPH + CYL + AXIS values.
How to Read Your Eye Prescription Card
Your optometrist provides a prescription card with values for each eye (OD = right, OS = left). Here's what each value means:
| Value | What It Means |
|---|---|
| SPH (Sphere) | Main power. Negative = myopia (-0.50 to -10.00). Positive = hyperopia (+0.50 to +5.00). |
| CYL (Cylinder) | Astigmatism power. If non-zero, you need Toric lenses, not standard spherical. |
| AXIS | Direction of astigmatism (1° to 180°). Only relevant if CYL is non-zero. |
| BC (Base Curve) | Lens curvature, usually 8.4mm, 8.5mm, or 8.6mm. Most contact lenses are 8.6mm. |
| DIA (Diameter) | Lens size, typically 14.0mm to 14.5mm. |
| ADD | Reading addition power (for multifocal lenses only). |
Important: Your glasses prescription is not identical to your contact lens prescription. Glasses sit ~12mm from your eye; contact lenses sit directly on the cornea. For powers above -4.00 Sph, the contact lens prescription is slightly different from the glasses prescription. Your optometrist will give you a specific contact lens prescription — use that, not your glasses prescription.
