Q

How is horizontal prism usually prescribed?

A

Horizontal prism is usually prescribed in both eyes in the same direction The OS will always be on the other side of the reticle scale

Q

Reason for using Prentice’s Rule

A
  1. If lens blank is too small, and you force it, it’s called pushing the PD 2. Amount of prism induced can be figured out by this formula

Q

Negative effects of inducing prism

A

Could cause outward deviation of the eyes Could cause the suppression of one eye losing visual acuity

19
Q

When oblique cylinder is present, pushing the PD horizontally will result in

A

Some degree of vertical prism 1. Cylinder Power increases 2. The cylinder axis approaches the 45 135 degree position

20
Q

American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

A

More than 2/3 of a prism diopter is undesirable for horizontal prism

21
Q

Lens > +- 2.75, PD has to be within

A

2.5 mm of what was ordered

22
Q

Vertical Prism Tolerance

A

No more than 1/3 Prism Diopter should be induced by any differences between R and L

23
Q

Lens > +- 3.375 D, keep MRP within

A

1mm of vertical difference

24
Q

Prism Scale

A

0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5

25
Q

Auxiliary Prism Cage

A

A holder for auxiliary prism which is located in front of the telescopic object. Auxiliary prisms come in 3, 6, 9 sets

26
Q

Definition of Prism

A

A wedge shaped piece of glass An optical system that deviates the path of light

27
Q

Prism Diopter

A

The unit of measurement of prism powerA prism whose power is one prism diopter produces deviation of one centimeter at a distance of one meter

28
Q

Which part of the prism is at the center of a plus lens?

A

Base of the prism is at the center Thickest part

29
Q

Which part of prism is at the center for a minus lens?

A

Apex of the prism is at the center of a minus lens The thinnest part

30
Q

How do we create prism?

A

Decentration of the optical center

31
Q

Four types of prism uses in Vision Care

A
  1. Relieving Prism 2. Adverse Prism 3. Measuring Prism 4. Dissociating Prism
32
Q

Relieving Prism

A

Prism prescribed to relieve or aid a patient who has a deficient eye muscle Base positioned over the paralyzed or deficient muscle Apex positioned opposite to the direction in which the muscle would normally turn the eye

33
Q

Adverse Prism

A

Prescribed to stimulate a muscle It is placed over the muscle to be stimulated

34
Q

Measuring Prism

A

Prism applied to ascertain the abducting or adducting strength Positioned same as relieving prism

35
Q

Dissociating Prism

A

Prism applied to effect a temporary destruction of fusion Prism is positioned the same as an adverse prism

36
Q

Patient reactions to excessive prism

A

Excessive Base Down Excessive Base Up Excessive Base Out or Base In

37
Q

Rxn to Excessive Base Down

A

Causes the floor or other horizontal expanse to seem concave Patient feels as tho he were standing in the bottom of a bowl or trough

38
Q

Excessive Base Up

A
  1. Causes the floor or other horizontal expanse to seem convex. Patient feels as if he were standing on a mound or ridge 2. Makes people and vertical objects seem shorter than they are 3. Makes the patient feel as though he were walking downhill
39
Q

Excessive Base Out or Base In

A

Causes the patient to see horizontal objects, such as a table, as too high on one end and too low on the other The too high side is toward the base of the prism

40
Q

Three different Pattern Makers

A

WECO - 1st generation Kapper - 40k Cobern - gives 3D image where to put bevel cut, bevel, polish, groove

41
Q

Optronics / Horizon

A

Pattern Maker 1. Find dead center with diagonal, put demo lens on top 2. Mark plus sign on demo lens at diagonal Pad on back of lens 3. Your plus sign on top of block plus sign 4. Use Demo Lens as pattern, white plastic with black holder 5. Set machine to 38.5 6. Set to rimless on Keypad

42
Q

Dry edger, no demo

A
  1. Center frame on gray grid 2. Count boxes on R and L 3. Brace frame on bottom last 4. If pattern is off center, PD off center 5. Place grid on matching machine 6. Put on pattern blank 7. Cut
43
Q

Novamatic Dry Edger

A

More Automatic 1. Center the frame on grid 2. Set vertical first 3. For horizontal measure FPD - if measurement off by a mm, the pattern will be way off 4. Trace and cut pattern
