81
Q

Adjust _____ before adjusting pad angles

A

Panto tilt

82
Q

When are nose pads adjusted correctly?

A
  1. The pads should rest halfway between the crest of the nose and the inner corner of the eye
  2. The long diameter of the pads should be perp to floor when head is erect
  3. The full surface of the pads should rest uniformly on the nose
83
Q

When glasses still slip when properly aligned?

A

Replace nose pads for silicone ones.

84
Q

Frame to the right

A

Move pads to the right. And vice.

85
Q

To move frame higher on the face

A

Shrink or narrow the bridge, add pads to plastic bridge, narrow distance between pads, lower vertical position of pads.

86
Q

To move frame lower on the face

A

Stretch or widen the bridge, spread adjustable pads apart, raise vertical position of adjustable pads.

90
Q

91
Q

When can you provide non-impact resistance?

A

When a physician or optometrist determines that impact resistance will not fulfill the patients visual requirements.

92
Q

Dress lenses minimal thickness?

A

No minimal thickness but must be able to withstand impact.

93
Q

Batch testing

A

Test a group of certain minimal thickness.

94
Q

Records with purchased eyeglasses

Must be kept for 3 years.

95
Q

Basic Safety glasses minimal thickness

A

3 mm except for +3 or higher (2.5 mm)

96
Q

High Impact safety glasses

A

2 mm

97
Q

Hardening of Glass Lenses

A

Temperaturing or chemically tempering. Will see a Maltese-cross pattern with colmascope. Drilled lenses that are heat treated are not safe.

98
Q

Horizontal placement of lenses

A

Normally make it so OC will line up with the pupil of the eyes. There will be no prismatic effect.

99
Q

Major reference point

A

Where the prismatic effect equals the prescribed prism

100
Q

When does OC=MRP

A

When there is not any prescribed prism

101
Q

MRP vertical displacement

A

Unless otherwise specified will be halfway between top and bottom of frame.

102
Q

Amt. of pant required with different OC placements

A

Eyes above OC->pant

Eyes below OC->retro (not done). Each mm=2 degrees

103
Q

Determining MRP height

A

Measure pupil center height. Compensate pant tilt. 2 for 1 rule.

104
Q

Average vertex distance

A

14mm

105
Q

Distometer

A

Used to measure vertex distance

106
Q

Progressive Height

A

Center of pupil for reference

107
Q

Bifocal Height

A

From lower lid

108
Q

Trifocal Height

A

Lower edge of the pupil

109
Q

Double D

A

Top will be 13-14 mm above lower seg. position. Must get a frame that allows 9 mm for upper segment.

110
Q

Seg height difference

A

Will need prism. 1 D for each .3 mm difference. Seg line should be moved in direction the prism apex points.

111
Q

Round segs

A

Must be 1 mm higher than flat tops.

112
Q

Segs seems too high

A

Increase Panto tilt, decrease vertex distance, spread pads (lower frame), stretch bridge, move pads up.

113
Q

Segs seems too low

A

Narrow pads, bend pads down by adjusting pad arms, increase vertex distance, reduce pant. tilt, shrink bridge.

114
Q

Correcting set height with incorrect eye size

A

The set height is correct by one half the difference between same frame eye size and desired eye size
