Q

How are Fixed Tints added to Glass lenses?

A

By mixing special crystals with the “clear” crystal in the process that is then baked in specially designed ovens that results in not only the color but a permanent filter in the lens

17
Q

What are the standard indices of High Index lenses?

A

1.60, 1.67, 1.70, 1.74

18
Q

What are the Advantages of High Index Lenses?

A
  1. Lighter lenses bc they’re made of less material.
  2. UV Protection
  3. Good for strong Rx’s
  4. Suitable for semi-rimless frames
  5. Better cosmetic appeal
  6. Eyes typically appear less magnified/minimized in plus/minus lenses
19
Q

What are the Disadvantages of High Index lenses?

A
  1. Higher cost for the practice and the patient
  2. Not as lightweight or impact resistant as poly or trivex
  3. Higher Index of refraction which makes ABBE value worse
  4. 1.70/1.74 not suitable for drill mount frames
  5. reflects more light
20
Q

What is another name for ABBE value?

A

V - value

21
Q

What does ABBE Value measure?

A

a lens materials dispersion of light

22
Q

When the ABBE Value of a lens is low, what does that mean for the separation of color?

A

the separation of color is greater

23
Q

The greater the separation of color, what effect does it have on the image the eye sees?

A

image becomes distorted due to the inability of the lens to focus all colors onto the same focal point

24
Q

Does Trivex have more or less unwanted abberation then Poly, and how much?

A

trivex has less, 35% less
