Lesson 8 Flashcards
Helps reduce the chance of damaging delicate frames
Frame adjustment pliers
Holds lens and screw when bending temples or bridge area
Rimless mounting adjustment pliers
Designed to easily and safely remove compression mounted hardware
Compression hardware removal plier
Designed to trim of extra plastic blushing material before mounting
Sleeve trimming plier
Designed for easy assembly of single or double leg compression mounted frames
Compression plier
What is a thumbtack useful for when adjusting frames
- aligning the barrels of a spring-hinged temple
- removing bottom nylon cord from a semi-rimless frame
- removing top cord from semi rimless frame
- assembling a rimless compression mount frame
Lens bulge is the same as the _________
Sag of the front surface
Vertex depth is the same as the ______
Sag of the back surface
Calculating edge thickness for decerneted lens A=48mm DBL=16mm PD=25/25 N-1.6 CT=1mm Rx=-4.00D
48+16=64
Half of that is 32 (mono frame PD)
32-25=7mm decentration
48/2=24=24
24+7=31=h
- 4(31^2)/(2000(1.6-1)
3. 20mm+1=4.20mm
A lens clock calibrated for n=1.523 is placed on a surface with a refractive index of 1.8. If the clock reads +8.00, what is the true power of the surface
(1. 8-1/1.523-1)x8
- 12.24
When finding net prism what do you do
Take the difference
When asked to add the prism what do you do
Pythagorean theorem or add them together if they are the same
Prism thickness
(Zh)/(100(n-1))
Using thickness difference to determine prism power
Z=(100t(n-1))/h
Inducing a vertical prismatic effect in the lower half of one leans to correct vertical imbalance
Slab-off
Induces BU prism in the most minus lens in the vertical meridian in order to offset excessive base down prism induced by the opposite lens
Slab off
Provides BD prism so it is always used in the most plus lens int he vertical meridian in order to offset excessive BU prism induced by the opposite lens
Reverse slab off
When using slab off
Higher minus
Lowest plus
The minus lens
When using reverse slab
Lowest minus
Highest plus
The plus lens
When is slab off used the most
Lined bifocals
How can you correct vertical imbalance
- Slab off
- Dissimilar segs (place OC of the right and left segs at different positions)
- multiple specs
- contact lenses
- fresnel prism
The sudden displacement of an image at the bifocal line
Image jump
