What does axis mean on my prescription?

The axis on your prescription tells the optician where exactly to position the lens correction so that your vision is clear, which is measured in degrees from 1 to 180. If you see any number mentioned under the axis column in your prescription, it always means you have astigmatism, a very common eye condition where the front part of your eye (the cornea) isn’t perfectly round, but slightly oval-shaped. This shape causes light to bend unevenly, leading to blurred or distorted vision.
