How to Choose a Proper Telescope Eye Piece?

BookLovr5 asked:
My father-in-law just gave me his old Meade ETX-60AT telescope. The problem is, it’s missing both eye pieces and user manual. I managed to download the user manual but the eye pieces are still eluding me. How would I go about getting replacements? Do the eye pieces HAVE to be the same brand? It came with a 25mm (1.25″) and 9mm lenses, do I HAVE to get these or can I choose others? How will I know what I buy will fit in my telescope? I’m new at this and could sure use the help.
Do I have to have a Meade eyepiece or can I purchase a different brand?
