What part of the lens is grinded by the lab?
Back surface
What are traditional PROGRESSIVE lenses designed for?
Lensometer
Not the patient

Astigmatism will increase
Which age group look for fashion more than visibility?
18 to 34 yrs

Carbon fiber
Which type of frame do you insert cold lenses into?
Carbon fiber
What is Nylon made of?
Cellulose Acetate Propionate
Which frames are Hypoallergenic?
Nylon Stainless Steel Titanium Optyl Polyamide
What frame do you use hot water for?
Nylon
Which do you not leave on your car dash? Why do you not leave it there?
Optyl
It will go to the default position
What specific safety frame do you not use acetone for?
Polycarbonate
It will turn into milky texture
What is a major metal allergy?
Nickel
Trical
If a pt. has excessive perspiration, what type of frames should you give to your pt.?
Corrosion resistant Aluminum Titanium Metal Alloys (Often) Stainless Steel
What type screw mounting do you not do on Glass lenses?
Conventional screw mounting
What happens to the light speed when you go from Polycarbonate to Trivex?
Go faster
If you have a pt. with 3 BU. How many degrees will the lens be at?
1.71
3 x .57 = 1.71
What are 2 things prism should be displayed?
Quantify ANGLE OF DEVIATION IN DEGREES and
the AMOUNT OF DISPLACEMENT
How much prism power does a prism have if it displaces a ray 5cm. from a distance of .5m from the prism?
10 PD
5cm/.5m
A 20Δ BU will deviate a ray how far at 5m and in what direction?
100 cm
20 x 5
A prism deviates light 4 degrees. What is the power of the prism?
4 x 1.75 = 7.00
Your patient has the following Rx: OD Plano - 7.00 x 090 OS -3.00 DS. 3ΔBO On which lens should the prism be Rxed?
OS
OD = -7.00 +7.00 x 180 OS = -3.00 DS (not as thick)
Your patient has suffered a stroke and has a OD blind spot superior temporal. You want to prescribe prism to bring the non-seeing area into his seeing area by 30 degrees.
52.5 BU
30 x 1.75 = 52.5
What part of a minus lens is fixed?
Center
This is why the edges are variable
What happens when you decrease the refractive index?
Increased edge (minus) and center (plus)
Calculate the Lens Thickness
Given: F1 = +2.00, F2 = -8.00 and n = 1.5
lens dia. = 80 mm, and tC = 2 mm.
T = 11.6 mm
S = (Fh^2) ÷ 2000(n - 1)
s1 = -6(40^2) ÷ 2000(1.5 - 1) = 9.6mm + 2mm =
11.6 mm
Note: Every minus lens has a minimum thickness where you must add 2mm
When looking for Thickness of lens, what would occur if you increased the diameter?
The lens would get THICKER
What is the formula for Total Light Transmission?
TIT = L - (reflection + absorption)
What is the formula for Reflection?
R = (n’ - n)^2 ÷
(n’ + n)^2
How much light is transmitted by CR-39, assuming no absorption?
92.2%
R = (1.498-1)^2 ÷
(1.498 + 1)^2 = 4.0% (F1)
Then 96 would be the I, and since 4% was the reflected, it would be 96% x 4% = 3.8% reflected. 96% - 3.8% = 92.2%
In regards to absorption, if you add more layers, what would that do to the absorption?
Absorption will increase and light being refracted will decrease
What does Lambert’s law state?
Given an absorptive material such as a tinted lens, layers of equal thickness absorb equal % of light regardless of the intensity…
What is the formula for light transmitted after absorption?
Ix = Io x q^x
Find T of crown glass, n =1.523,assuming the q value = 0.8 / 2 mm and tc = 6mm
46.9%
F surface = 4.3%
95.7 (0.8^3) = 0.49
B surface =0.49 x 0.043 = 0.021
T= Ix - Rb
0.49 -0.021 = 0.469 or 46.9%
What is the short cut formula for Total light transmitted?
T = Io x (q^x)
What is the order of transmission for UV protection?
CR39 (dyed) > Polycarb > CR39 (not tinted) > Crown Glass
What part of the lens will have the least amount of tint?
Thickest part of the lens
Oxidates will go to the thickest part of the lens
How do you calculate what AR you need to use?
Square root the n of the lens you have.
True or False. Single layer AR will allow more wavelengths to pass through?
False. Only one wavelength will pass through
