- 19. Types of Bifocals(according to segment type ) Basic bifocal segment types include: 1. Round segment 2. Flat top segment 3. Curve-top and panoptik segments 4. Ribbon segments B and R segment 5. Franklin style or Executive segments
- 20. Round Segments(Kryptok bifocals) •Vary in size from a small lens of 22 mm up to the largest, 40 m m. • The most common size is 22 mm • The optical center (OC) of a round segment is always at the cen ter of the segment.
- 21. Kryptok Bifocal Advantages: • Nodust collection • No discoloration • Relatively invisible • Easy to manufacture • Low cost • Good distance users Disadvantages: • Drooping of eyes • Increased image jump • Chromatic aberration • Only 22mm
- 22. Flat-top Segments • Basicallyround segments with the top cut off • The top is generally “cut off” 4.5 to 5.0 mm above the center o f the segment • The segment OC is about 5 mm below the seg line • Allows the lens segment to have maximum reading width wher e a person will be reading
- 23. Cont…. • Flat topsare also known as D segs. • Segment sizes range from 22 up to 45 mm • Most commonly used now are 28 mm or greater
- 24. Flat Top Bifocal Advantages •Decreased image jump – 2mm OC • Good type to be worn by myopes • No dirt and dividing line etc • Wide reading area • Inbuilt seg- inset • Good reading area (20-27mm)
- 25. Flat Top Bifocal Disadvantages: •Chromatic aberration - fused type, while it is absent with one-piece fla t top type • Expensive type • No to Hypermetropic distance correction • Care to be taken - Right axis • Prominent seg – top.
- 26. Franklin-Style or ExecutiveSegments • More commonly known by the trade name, Executive • It is a one-piece lens with the segment extending the full width of the lens • Has the segment OC on the segment line • Therefore also known as “monocentric” bifocals.
- 27. Executive Bifocal Advantages: • Goodreading and distance area • No image jump • Distortion free Disadvantages: • Cosmetically not acceptable • Top portion is thick • Heavy
- 28. Curve-top & Panoptiksegments • Look similar to flat tops, except that the upper line is arched, r ather than flat • The top of panoptik segments are curved as well, but the corn ers are rounded.
- 29. Ribbon Segments • Ribbonsegments are basically round segments with the top an d bottom cut off • Two types: B and an R segment
- 30. Cont…. • The Bis only 9 mm deep and is good for someone who must b e able to have distance vision below the bifocal area • The R segment has a 14 mm depth. It is seldom used as a regul ar bifocal lens • Both B and R segments have their segment optical centers in t he middle of the segment
- 31. Types of bifocal(according to construction) • Basically there are three main types: 1. Fused bifocal 2. One piece bifocal 3. Cemented bifocal
- 32. Fused bifocals/multifocals • availableonly in glass • The segment of the lens is made from glass having a higher ref ractive index than that of the distance lens.
- 33. Cont…. • Segment cannotbe felt because it is fused into distance portio n • The basic designs include round seg, flat-top seg, panoptic sag and ribbon segments
- 34. One piece bifocal/multifocals •Are made from one lens material • change in power in the segment portion of the lens is due to a change in the surface curvature of the lens • Can be identified by feeling the segment border
- 35. Cont…. • Can bemade from any lens material • All plastic lenses are made as one piece multifocals • Examples are ultex bifocal, franklin or exucutive style
- 36. Cemented bifocals/multifocals • Cementlenses are custom-made lenses that have a small segm ent glued onto the distance lens • The cement used is Canada balsam (having same refractive ind ex as the glass)
- 37. Cont.. • Advantages arevery easy to made, inexpensive and may be re placed by a new power when required • Problems are canada balsam may dry and crystalized or may so ften • Used only for specialized custom purposes
- 38. Test 1. Which ofthe following is correct? a. (distance power) + (near power) = (near Rx) b. (near power) - (distance power) = (near addition) c. (near addition) = (distance power) - (near power) d. (near power) - (distance power) = (near Rx) e. None of the above is correct
- 39. 2. Which ofthe following statements is correct? a. Seg height is always equal to seg depth. b. Seg depth is always greater than or equal to seg height. c. Seg height is always greater than or equal to seg depth. d. Seg height is always greater than seg depth. e. None of the above is correct
- 40. The lensmeter reads: −1.00−1.00 × 180 in the distance portion +1.50 −1.00 × 180 in the near portion What is the near add? a. +l.50 D b. +l.75 D c. +2.00 D d. +2.25 D e. +2.50 D
- 41. If you couldnot see a lens and were only able to feel the surfaces, which of the following multifocals could not be distinguished from a single vision lens? a. a fused glass multifocal lens b. a one-piece construction multifocal lens c. a cement segment multifocal lens d. All could be distinguished from a single vision lens. e. None could be distinguished from a single vision lens.
- 42. An Executive lensis an example of which type of construction? a. fused b. one piece c. cement segment
- 43. Which of thefollowing multifocal construction methods are used only with glass? a. fused b. one piece c. cement segment
- 44. True or false? •One-piece multifocal construction is used only with plastic lenses, not with glass.
- 45. Measuring for Bifocals •As easy as measuring IPD • Measurement for segment height should be done using only t he actual frame that will be worn • The frame must be carefully positioned to sit at the same heig ht at which it will be worn.
- 46. Method Two methods 1. Lowerlimbus method 2. Lower lid margin method
- 47. Steps in MeasuringBifocal Height Using Lo wer Lid or Limbal Method 1. Fitter positions himself or herself on the same level as the subj ect. 2. Subject fixates the bridge of the fitter’s nose. 3. Holding frame in correct wearing position, the fitter places the PD rule vertically in front of subject’s right eye. The zero point i s at lower limbus and the ruler scale is positioned downward.
- 48. 4. For arimmed frame, the fitter reads the scale at the level of th e lowest point where the inside of the groove would be. For a r imless frame, the reference is the level of the lowest point on t he demo lens. 5. Repeat for left eye.
- 49. • Using amarking pen, the proposed level of the bifocal can be d rawn on the glazed lens in the new frame
- 50. • Drawing acomplete line at the proposed bifocal height will allo w the wearer a realistic evaluation of where the segment will b e located after the finished lenses are in the frame.
