Some patients need a different lens for each eye. When you create an Rx order, you can configure the right and left lenses separately, each with its own lens style, material, and add-ons.
Configure Each Eye Separately
Start an Rx order from Create Order (learn more) and complete the Overview and Order Configuration sections.
At the top of the Lens Configuration section, choose how to configure the lenses:
Standard – One lens configuration applies to both lenses. This is the default.
Configure left and right separately – Specify lens style, material, and add-ons for each eye.
If you chose Configure left and right separately, pick the Lens Style, Lens Material, and any Lens Add-Ons for the right lens and for the left lens.
Choose any Services, then continue to Rx Entry. Services apply to the whole order, so there's one Services selector for both eyes.
Rx Entry When Each Eye Has a Different Lens Type
The Rx Entry table follows the lens style you picked for each eye. If both eyes use single vision styles, or both use multifocal styles, you'll see the usual table for that lens type. If one eye has a single vision style and the other has a multifocal style, SpecCheck shows a combined table:
OC Ht is entered for the single vision eye only.
Add and Seg Ht are entered for the multifocal eye only, and they're required for that eye.
PD is split into Distance PD and Near PD. Near PD is only available for the multifocal eye.
Click Copy all OD to OS to copy the right eye's values to the left eye. Fields that don't apply to the left eye's lens type aren't copied.
If one eye uses a single vision Neurolens or Sequel style, OC Ht is required for that eye.
Good to Know
Single Lens orders: You can't configure each eye separately when you're ordering only one lens. If Single Lens is selected, the option is unavailable, and hovering over it shows "You cannot have two lens configurations if you're ordering only one lens." The same goes the other way: while each eye is configured separately, Single Lens is unavailable in Rx Entry and shows the same message.
Specialty lenses: Specialty lens styles still appear in the list when you configure each eye, but they're marked "Not available as a single lens" and can't be selected. To order one, use Standard.
Lens Packages: Lens Packages are only available with the Standard configuration.
Drafts, redos, duplicates, and edits: Saved drafts keep your separate left and right lenses, and you can redo, duplicate, or edit an order that uses them.
Options your lab no longer offers: When you load a draft or redo, duplicate, or edit an order, SpecCheck checks each eye against your lab's current options. If an add-on, such as a coating, is no longer offered, it's removed and you'll see a message asking you to review your lens configuration.
