I have a Lamiglass Cascade pro series BC86MS 3/8-3/4 oz 8-12lb rod that i snapped the eye out of the tip last weekend. My question is how do i find out what size i need or if someone here knows the answer. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Tip/tops are generally messured in 1/64th of an inch.... for example a size 8 is 8/64. Lamiglass might be able to tell you the size if you call them.
You will need the tube size and the ring size to buy a ned tip/top.

I think that Joe's or Sportsman's WH have tip tops.
They will have a box of several diameters, so don't stress the sizing.
It's a trial and error thing.
They may even put it on for you for the cost of the tip top.
That'll save you from buying a stick of ferrule cement.
Edit:
Fisherman's Shack will definitely have what you need.
Don will fix you up and you will feel like you're back in 1965.
That's a good thing.

they make little plastic sizing tools, you could probably pic one up somewhere, or if you have a micrometer, you could probably match one up at the manufacture website.

if you call Lami directly, they might just mail you a replacement tip guide, free of charge?
