List 3 of 8 frame-selecting considerations that were discussed in PowerPoint
Face shape, prescription, Bridge types
3 nonmetal eyeglass frame materials and describe
zyl: plastic frame and lightweight compared to metal
Nylon: Can be easily molded into today’s styles
Optyl: Keeps its shape when adjusted
List 2 primary characteristics of a frame made of optyl
Thermosetting plastic
Molded EPOXY plastic
list 3 metal eyeglass frame materials and describe
Monel: Widely used material in eyeglass frames
Titanium: lightweight, durable and strong, clean and modern looks
Stainless steel: lightweight, low toxicity, and strength
list 2 primary characteristics of a frame made of titanium
lightweight and corrosion-resistant
list 2 unique frame materials that were discussed
list 3 frame materials that are considered hypoallergenic
Flexon Frames, Titanium Frames, Cellulose Acetate
list 2 face shapes and give a frame shape that will balance each contour
________________frame shape________________
_______________frame shape________________
Round face; rectangular Frames
Square Face; Round frames
Based on VICA’S color analysis list three key factors in determining a patient’s best color palette
skin, eyes and hair
List the two skin tone bases to consider when selecting colors for a patient
blue(cool)and yellow(warm)
Name 3 plastic bridge designs and 3 temple designs
Saddle Bridge, Modified Saddle, Keyhole Bridge
Library, Skull, Riding bow
List 3 frame markings and describe where it is usually located
DBL; distance between lenses of each lens on the nasal side
Datum line: Horizontal line that runs through the vertical center of the frame
A measurement: Horizontal distance furthest temporal and nasal edges
Whatt is the very first thing opticians must do prior to taking patient measurements
Preadjust frame and eyewear correctly on face
Name the tool and describe four measurements opticians take
vertex distance: measures the distance between the back of the lens to the front pupil
Lensometer: helps neutralize lenses
corneal reflex pupilometer: aligns the optical center of the lens to visual axis
PD Ruler: Measures monocular and binocular
List 2 primary instructions we give to patients)to direct them for positioning) when using the mechanical instrument to take patients PD
Focus patients right eye on your left eye, focus left eye on your right eye
list the process for operation of the mechanical instrument for the optician to take the distance measurement of patient PD
A) Set the device on
B) Next
C) Then
Make sure its on infinity for distance measurement
next have patient hold like a pair of binoculars and align each eye monoculary
then read the result
list the process for operation of the mechanical instrument for the optician to take the Near measurement of patient PD
A) Set device on
B) Next
C) Then
Make sure its on 40 for near
hold like a pair of binoculars and align each eye monoculary
then read the result
List the markings found engraved on a progressive lens? what are the bifocal lens design? Trifocal lens design?
Progressive: fitting cross, add power markings, refrence circles
Bifocals: Round segment, Flat Top, Add power
Trifocals: Distance Top, intermediate middle, near bottom,
what are the standard measurement heights opticians take for each
Bifocals
Trifocals
Progressives
Pediatric Bifocals
Bifocal: Lower lid margin
Trifocals: Bottom of the pupil
Progressives: center pupil
Pediatric Bifocals: top edge of Bifocal
Describe/write the definition of patient profile analysis from PowerPoint prescription
features and benefits of opthalmic frames lenses and understanding patients prescription and lifestyle
List the first two things you do/say when you meet the patient waiting in station 3 or walking into your practice
greet your patient by name and introduce yourself
invite your patient to sit across from you and review new and old RX
list 2 important questions in the patient interview and explain why they are important to know
Patients’ likes and dislikes, occupation, hobbies, and interests
To better engage with your patient and get pertinent info
name 2 lens treatments and detail the features and benefits of each
Anti-reflective: reduces reflections from the front and back surfaces of the lens
Scratch-resistant coating: resistant to scratches from front and back
list 2 products/clinics demonstrating tools and describe how you would use each
Lensometer: it verifies the prescription of the eyeglass lense
corneal reflex pupilometer: measures monocular and binocular readings
