Q

A

It is positive. Center thickness is greater than edge thickness

  • h is half the lens diameter
  • BC or lens form have no impact on this formula

Q
Calculate maximal edge thickness 
Rx=-2.00 -2.00 X 146
Center thickness=2mm
Diameter=52mm
N=1.42
Assume optical center is at geometric center
A

Want the thickest to be at the highest power meridian so doing a lens cross, what would make -4.00 our highest meridian

(-4.00(26^2))/(2000(1.42-1))=-3.219
Make it positive 3.219

3.219+2=5.219

Assume optical center is at geometric center
A

+5.00 is our highest power meridian based on the lens cross

+5(34.5^2)/2000 (1.7-1)=4.25

4.25+2= 6.25mm

18
Q

What are the 3 factors affecting lens thickness

A

Lens power
Lens diameter
Refractive index

19
Q

Lens power and lens thickness

A

As lens power increases, thickness increases

20
Q

Lens power and RI

A

As RI increases, thickness decreases

21
Q

Eyesize and lens thickness

A

If eyesize increases, thickness increases

22
Q

Base curve and thickness

A

increased BC increases thickness

23
Q

Changing the base curve for a -8D lens will not change

A

The amount of light from the front surface

-it will change the edge lens thickness, the retinal image size, the oblique astigmatism

24

What is the power in the horizontal meridian?
What is the thickness at the temporal edge?

-5+(-4x0.5)=-7.00D x 180

  • 7(27^2)/2000 (1.65-1)
  • 3.9mm
    3. 9mm+1MM=4.9mm

  • 1.575
    1. 575+1=2.575mm
26

N=2.6
Calculate the thickness at the temporal edge of the lens, assuming the optical center is at geometric center 

Calculate the max edge thickness

A

(-5.625(25^2))/2000(1.6-1)=2.93
2.93+2=4.93mm

-6.25 is the highest powered meridian
Plug into equation and get 3.26+2=5.26mm

What are fresnel prisms useful for

A

  • the geometric center of the concave lenson the right contributes no prism. Thus, prismpower can be determined by the difference in edge thickness using the abovefiormual
