You would only say "prescription" if they were sunglasses or something that was normally not. If you need glasses, they are presumed to be prescription. You might say "reading glasses" if … well, you get the idea.
I have a small correction in my left eye. This doesn't sound quite natural to me.
I suggest I need a small correction to the vision in my left eye.
You could say that you need glasses with a prescription lens for one eye but not the other.
