Base Out
If you move a minus lens down, you are looking through what type of prism?

If you move a minus lens up you are looking through what type of prism?
Base Down.
Formula for Prentice’s Rule
H= P/D x 10
(D is the total power of the lens)
(Prism = length from oc in mm x diopter of lens divided by 10)
If you move a plus lens away from the nose (to temple) it induces what type of prism?

Base Down
If you move a plus lens up you are inducing what type of prism?
