Introduction
Eyeglasses are lenses set in frames. You wear them in front of your eyes to aid vision or to correct defects of vision. Those eye conditions can be myopia, prebyopia, hyperopia or astigmatism.
Examination and Diagnosis for Eyeglass prescription
A refraction test is a test that your eye doctor uses to identify the exact eyeglass prescription needed for you.
Your optometrist will use an instrument called a phoropter during the refraction test, which is used to test your vision using multiple different lenses.
The lenses prescriptions will be given in some numbers which are called dioptries.
The negative sign afore the number designates that you are nearsighted, while the positive sign means that you are farsighted.
Lens power is measured in diopters.
The bigger the number, the worse the eye condition, the stronger the lense prescription. For example, “-7.00” written under sphere means that you are very nearsighted and need a seven diopter correction.
There are 5 steps you’ll need to go through to get your new eyeglasses :
- .Examination, diagnosis and Prescription

- Payment of the forefront fee and standby time (for the glasses to be ready)

Eye diseases for which we provide Eyeglass treatment
Below is a list of the eye diseases we commonly diagnose and treat with eyeglasses at the Addis Ababa Eye Clinic :
- Refractive errors – The main types of refractive errors are myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), presbyopia (loss of near vision with age), and astigmatism. Eye glasses help treat Refractive errors by bending the light to make it focus correctly on your retina (the light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye). Various eyeglass lenses can correct different errors caused by problems with the cornea, lens, or shape of the eye.
