Which of these lenses helps prevent aberrations and is a good choice if you want a flat base curve?
An aspheric lens.
Which of these is a good rule of thumb when you’re selecting a base curve for a lens?
If the difference between lenses is greater than two diopters, it’s better to use the individual base curve selections.
Which of these frames is an optimal choice for a standard progressive lens?

What is a mire line?
A line you’ll see through the eyepiece of a lensometer.
What does the spectacle table lever of a lensometer do?

Which power will you calculate first when you’re using a lensometer to find the power of a lens?
The sphere power.
What’s one good reason for learning how to use a manual lensometer?

Your client’s prescription is -400 +200 x 80. What numbers do you get when you transpose this prescription?
-2.00 -2.00 x 170
Mike’s prescription is +2.50 -2.00 x 45. The doctor needs to cut Mike’s astigmatism correction in half. What is the spherical equivalent of this new prescription?
+2.00 -1.00 x 45
What is x in this problem?
-4.50 + 2.00 = x
-2.50
If you move a lensometer power wheel from +1.75 to +1.25, which direction are you moving in?
Minus
What’s wrong with the soft contact lens prescription below?
-2.25 – 2.00 x 01/Acuvue toric/ 8.7/14.2
Toric contact lens manufacturers offer cylinder axis options in 10-degree steps, not one-degree steps.
What problem does a multifocal contact lens address?
Presbyopia
Which of these is an accurate statement about selecting contact lenses for clients?
A client’s tear consistency plays an important role in selecting the proper lens.
What does the oxygen permeability of a lens tell you?
How much oxygen can pass through the lens to the eye.
What is the purpose of double thin zones in a toric lens?
To hold the lenses in the correct orientation.
Which of these rigid gas-permeable contact lenses has a central area for near viewing and an outer peripheral area for distance viewing?
A progressive aspheric multifocal lens.
What should clients do with their rigid contact lenses two or three times a year?
Get them polished.
What will you use a keratometer for?
Measuring a client’s corneal curvature.
What will you use fluorescein stain for?
Evaluating the fit of a contact lens.
