We say 环(huan2). So the sentence will be "奥林匹克旗有五色环。" Also we have in Beijing 一环路（1st Ring Road）,二环路（2nd Ring Road）etc. @蓝大卫

But after that, when you know you prescription, you could get your glasses nice and easy. I was saying this because I had an unpleasant experience at the optometrist's in England. I knew my exact prescription but they refused to give me glasses unless I take an eye exam which would cost way more than the glasses. So I had to ask my friend to bring me a pair from China. @蓝大卫

An American company, Costco, is offering optometry services (from eye exam to glassses) to their customers at a far better price than going through the regular route. @LanZi,

You don't need doctor's prescription at all. You could walk into the 眼镜店（yan3 jing4 dian4）and pick up glasses for you and your friends, as easy as grocery shopping.
