Q

What is aphakia

A

Px has had the crystalline lens removed usually due to a cataract. Px will require a lens of around +12.00 with a reading add of +3.00 if not psudophakic

Q

When would you add a prism?

A

1) Cosmetically eg frame is too large (best with eso hyperopes and exo myopes) aslong as the induced prism is less than the Px’s heterophoria.
2) when Px previous spectacles have been tolerated with an incorrect prism and correct OCs cause diplopia

Q

What is heterophoria?

A

The Px eyes resting position (eg Px is in completely dark environment and eyes are free to remain aligned or deviate) Ve angle is aligned for a distance of 1metre

21
Q

At what age does presbyopia begin?

A

Between 40-45 (35-40cm)

22
Q

At what age does an int add become required?

A

50-55 (40-60mm)

23
Q

What is an average bvd?

A

10-13mm

24
Q

What is then abbé value for cr39?

A

56.8

25
Q

What is the abbé value for polycarbonate?

A

30

26
Q

What is the abbé value for 1.54 resin?

A

47

27
Q

What is the abbé value for trivex?

A

43-45

28
Q

What is the index of allyl digicol carbonate?

A

1.498

29
Q

What is the n of polycarbonate?

A

1.586

30
Q

What is the n of mid index plastics?

A

1.54-1.56 (spectralite1,54/ormex1.56)

31
Q

What is the n of high index resins?

A

1.6-1.74. Finalite + thin&light1.6(uv) / seiko mr-10 + stylus1.67 / fusio + hyper1.74 + teslalid + protection)

32
Q

What is the n of trivex?

A

1.53

33
Q

What type of light is used to measure n in the uk?

A

Helium d line nm= 587.6

34
Q

What methods are there to tint lenses?

A

Solid (tint permeates the material)/ dip dye/ bonded equitint/ vacuum

35
Q

What level of v diff prism is tolerable?

A

1prism diopter

36
Q

How do aspheric lenses prevent lens aberration?

A

The surface astigmatism offsets the oblique astigmatism caused by flattening the lens. If a purely spherical lens was flattened significant optical errors will occur

37
Q

What rx would you consider putting in a myodisc/lenticular lens?

A

+8.00

38
Q

Why are aspherics used at higher powers

A

They reduce lens aberrations that cannot be corrected with spherical lenses at this range

39
Q

What to remember with toric transposition

A

Flip sing on working part and add to original sph

40
Q

What band is UVA?

A

315-380

41
Q

What band is UVB?

A

280-315

42
Q

Uvc?

A

100-280

43
Q

What is blue lights wavelength?

A

380-500

44
Q

What luminous transmission is not acceptable for evening driving?

A

75%

45
Q

What bs en iso applies to skiing tints?

A

12312

46
Q

What colour tint is good for skeet/ clay pigeon shooting?

A

Bronze

47
Q

What colour tint is useful for black and white shooting?

A

Yellow
Orange for orange targets
Red/pink for black and green are also good on orange and for green perception
Abs should not be too dark as large pupils affect performance (think pinhole)

48
Q

What would you advise for a cricketer?

A

Mirror due to long uv tints vary to light levels

49
Q

What lens material is good for hard ball sports?

A

Cr39 toughened can be used but trivex or poly are preferred
