I just got a progressive lense prescription but am wanting to get reading glasses only. How do I specify that with the numbers I have? I have read that the ADD numbers are 'on top of' the SPH numbers for the reading section, so would I add them? E.g., if my SPH is -3.00 and my ADD is +2.00, do I specify SPH of -1.00 for reading glasses? Or would I provide the prescription as written and then specify that I want reading glasses only? I assume that the astigmatism correction is the same whether the lenses are progressive or reading--right?
