Glass prescription in children
This document provides guidelines for prescribing glasses in children. It discusses that the pediatric eye is different from the adult eye in terms of axial length, corneal curvature, and lens power. The goals of prescribing glasses in children are to provide a focused retinal image and achieve optimal balance between accommodation and convergence. It is more difficult to prescribe glasses for children due to lack of subjective response and poor attention. American guidelines provide recommendations on refractive errors that warrant correction at different ages. Factors like emmetropization, amblyopia risk, and presence of strabismus are considered. Frame selection depends on the child's condition and age, aiming for correct fit, comfort, safety, and not hindering nasal development.
RGP Fitting
This document discusses rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses. It notes that RGP lenses are made of oxygen permeable materials and are better than soft lenses for vision, durability, correcting astigmatism, eye health, and ease of care. RGP lenses are recommended for conditions like keratoconus or high refractive errors. The fitting process involves screening patients, measuring the eye, trial fittings, and dynamic and static assessments. Proper care and maintenance of RGP lenses is also discussed.
Tinted lenses
- Absorptive lenses reduce the amount of transmitted light through absorption. They act as filters and may absorb uniformly or selectively across the spectrum.
- Lenses can be tinted through various methods like adding metallic oxides during manufacturing, surface coating with oxides, or dyeing plastic lenses through immersion in solutions.
- Tint colors like green, grey, and brown provide good contrast and protection from glare, while rose tints reduce eyestrain. Darker tints above 70% are needed for sunglasses, while lighter tints around 10-20% are used for fashion.
Frame measurement & marking
The document discusses different measurement systems used for eyeglasses, including the datum system and boxing system. It provides definitions for key optical and frame measurements such as:
- Eye size and lens size refer to the horizontal length of the lens or frame opening.
- Geometric center is the midpoint of the horizontal midline between the lens borders.
- Effective diameter is twice the distance from the geometric center to the lens bevel edge.
- Bridge size is the distance between the two lenses at the narrowest point of the frame.
- Segment height specifies the vertical distance of bifocal or progressive addition lenses.
Glare testing and dark adaptation
Glare testing and dark adaptation assessment are important for evaluating ocular conditions that impact vision in low light or with glare. Glare refers to discomfort or reduced vision caused by excessive brightness in the visual field. There are several types of glare and various instruments to test for its effects. Dark adaptation measures the eye's recovery of sensitivity in low light over time and provides information about rod and cone function. Factors like pre-adaptation light levels and stimulus properties influence the dark adaptation curve. Abnormal curves may indicate conditions affecting the outer retina or retinal pigment epithelium. Management can include absorptive glasses worn before bright light exposure.
Dispencing optics
The document provides an overview of optical dispensing. It discusses defining optical dispensing and the steps involved, including frame selection based on facial shape, frame measurements, lens measurements, counseling patients on lens materials and coatings, and the process of fitting lenses into frames which involves marking, cutting, and edging lenses.
Low vision optical devices
1) There are a variety of low vision devices that provide magnification to help those with low vision see better for both near and distant tasks. These include spectacle-mounted reading lenses, hand magnifiers, stand magnifiers, and electronic devices like closed-circuit televisions.
2) Low vision devices work by using relative distance magnification, relative size magnification, or angular magnification to enlarge images on the retina. The amount of magnification provided depends on factors like the lens power and working distance.
3) Telescopes are used for distance vision and provide angular magnification to enlarge distant objects. Types include hand-held, bioptic, and telemicroscope models. Proper fitting is important to maximize remaining vision.
Progressive addition lenses
This document discusses progressive lenses, including their history, types, features, markings, fitting process, advantages, and disadvantages. It provides details on:
- The four main types of lenses - single vision, bifocals, trifocals, and progressive addition lenses.
- Key features of progressive lenses, including having multiple focal points that change continuously across the lens rather than distinct segments.
- Important temporary and permanent markings on progressive lenses used in fitting, including the fitting cross, distance reference circle, and lateral locator lines.
- The process of accurately relocating the fitting cross from temporary to permanent markings to ensure proper positioning over the pupil.
Bifocals PPT
Bifocals are lenses with two optical powers, one for distance and one for near. There are several types of bifocal segments including round, flat top, curve top, ribbon, and Franklin style. Bifocals can be made through fused, one piece, or cemented constructions. When measuring for bifocals, the frame is positioned as it will be worn and the bifocal height is measured from the lower limbus or lid margin using a vertical ruler. This ensures the bifocal segment will be at the proper height for the wearer.

It describes several grating and letter-based contrast sensitivity charts, including the FACT chart, Pelli-Robson chart, Vistech tests, and Cambridge Low Contrast tests. It provides details on test administration and scoring for many of these assessments. The document also discusses computer-based contrast sensitivity testing and considerations for contrast calibration of video displays used for testing.
Bifocal lenses: types and principles
Bifocal lenses have two optical powers, one for distance vision and one for near vision. They are useful for presbyopia. There are several types of bifocal lenses including round, flat-top, and executive styles. Benjamin Franklin is credited with inventing the first bifocal lens in the late 18th century by cutting a single lens in half. Modern bifocals are manufactured using various techniques like fusing, cementing, or making from a single piece of plastic or glass. Proper positioning and design of the near segment is important to reduce issues like image jump and chromatic aberration. Bifocals come in many styles and materials to best suit individual needs and prescription requirements.
Aniseikonia
The term ‘‘aniseikonia” comes from the Greek words ‘‘an” (not) ‘‘is” (equal) & ‘‘eikon” (icon or image) so aniseikonia is a binocular condition in which the apparent sizes of the images seen with the two eyes are unequal.
Whenever refractive ametropias in the two eyes of a person are different (i.e., when there is an anisometropia), the corrected retinal images of the two eyes, and consequently the two visual images, differ in size.
This condition has been termed aniseikonia
Optical aniseikonia
Retinal aniseikonia
Cortical aniseikonia
progressive addition lenses- optics, designs and performances
Progressive addition lenses (PALs) gradually increase power from the distance to the near zone to provide clear vision at all distances without visible lines. PALs come in various designs like hard and soft to suit patients' needs. Factors like unwanted astigmatism, prism, and binocular vision must be considered for optimal performance. PAL selection depends on lifestyle, occupation, and adaptation needs. They are generally suitable for most presbyopes but some may prefer other options due to visual or physical factors.
SPECIAL PURPOSE FRAME.pptx
Frames for older wearers should be lightweight to prevent pressure sores on the nose and ears as skin loses elasticity with age. The frame bridge must fit correctly and spread weight evenly. Style is still important for older individuals. Sports eyewear standards help protect performance and safety, and require impact resistance and labeling with manufacturer, model, and intended sport(s). Considerations for different sports include helmets, UV protection, prescription adaptations, and frame positioning.
ophthalmic lenses
Injuries from broken ophthalmic lenses are a common source of liability claims against optometrists. The most likely causes of injury are broken glass, plastic, or high-index lenses. Claims often allege negligence for failing to prescribe impact-resistant lenses, warn patients, or inspect lenses. Polycarbonate and Trivex lenses have the best impact resistance. Optometrists can be liable for not prescribing these materials for those at risk, like athletes or workers. Proper documentation of lens options and risks can help reduce liability.
