Q

How do you use a Geneva Lens Clock?

A

Place on lens, rotate 90 degrees
If no change in the reading =no cyl in lens
If there is a change the Algebraic difference in reading = cyl power
Axis is an approximate measurement
Sphere is an algebraic sum of the measurements from the front of the lens and the back of the lens.

Q

How high does the Fresnel prism go

24
Q

Fresnel prism_____images

A

magnifies

25
Q

Prism that press on and is nearly weightless, is cut into shape of the spectable lens, is temporary/removable, magnifies lenses, and goes up to 40D

A

Fresnel prism

26
Q

Prism used for vertical prism >1D, large horizontal deviations, and convergence insufficiencies.

A

Ground in prism

27
Q

How do you know that there is prism present in a pair of glasses?

A

Mires will not center in the manual lensometer
There are concentric rings that will show up in the lensmeter target

28
Q

How do you measure the amount of prism in the lens?

A

By using prism rings, each ring corrresponds to 1 PD, except for the tiny circle in the middle of the target(this is 1/2 PD)

29
Q

Prism can be ____(BI, BO, BU, BD) or _______(BI&BO, BD&BO)

A

simple or compound

30
Q

Prisms bend light rays toward their____

A

Base

31
Q

What is the flat wide part of the prism

A

base

32
Q

What is the sharp pointed part of the prism

A

apex

33
Q

Lens used to correct hyperopia

A

convex (two triangles base to base)

34
Q

This lens converges light rays

A

convex (each prism bends light rays towards their base)

35
Q

Lens that treats myopia

A

Concave(two triangles apex to apex)

36
Q

Lens that diverges light rays

A

Convex (light rays go towards the base of the prism)

37
Q

Formula that gives approximate amt of prism present at any given point on a lens based on the dioptric power of the lens and the distance that point is from the optical center of the lens.
(Gives the approx amt of induced prism when the lens is decentered)

A

Prentice’s Rule

38
Q

What is the formula for Prentice’s Rule?

A

P=dxD/10
P=amt of prism present at a particular point
d=distance of that point from the optical center, in mm
D=Dioptric power of lens

39
Q

Pt should be looking through the _______ of the lens

A

optical center

40
Q

Why would we intentionally decenter a lens?

A

If pt needs only a small amount of prism.

41
Q

What are the 2 pieces of information needed to determine how much prism is induced when the lens is decentered?

A

power of the lens
how far the lens is decentered

42
Q

If the lens is -8.00 and is decentered by 20mm calculate the amount of induced prism.

A

P=20x8/10
P=16
If distance is presented in cm you would have to convert to mm for formula to work. There are 10 mm in a centimeter, 100cm in a Meter.

43
Q

If the lens is a plus lens the induced prism will be oriented in the ____direction of the decentration.

A

same

44
Q

If it is a minus lens the induced prism will be oriented in the ________direction of the decentration.

A

opposite

45
Q

A condition where the refractive error of the two eyes differ significantly….. >3D between eyes.

A

Anisometropia

46
Q

a significant difference in perceived image size

A

aneseikonia

47
Q

What causes aniseikonia?

A

Anisometropia

48
Q

What does slabb off correct?

A

vertical imbalance that results from anisometropia

49
Q

Slabb off is only required for the _____portion of the pt glasses

A

near

50
Q

Excessive prismatic imbalance can result in _____

A

an inability for pt to fuse the two images

51
Q

Bicentric lens (Base up prism) is placed in most ______ or _______lens

A

most minus or least plus lens

52
Q

Prismatic effect causes ___ ocular muscle imbalance through Bifocal seg.

A

2 degree

53
Q

The first number on the temple piece of glasses is____

A

lens width or eye size

54
Q

The second number on a glasses temple is____

A

bridge

55
Q

What is the third number on the glasses temple?

A

The temple length

56
Q

How is the temple length measured?

A

From the screw to the tip of the temple (including curve of temple)
