25
Reflectance
The amount of light reflected at each surface
26
Reflectance produces
Produce ghost images, falsification of image position, haze, decreased contrast
27
Reflectance effect on cosmesis
They obscure the wearers eyes with glare and draw attention to glasses
28
Reflectance equation is
IR equation on equation sheet
29
Lens is reflected from what portion of the lens
Front and back | Aka lens refractive index
30
A typical, non coated, ophthalmic lens reflects
8% or more of incident light
31
Transmittance (t) is
The fraction of incident light passing through lens
32
Transmittance varies for
Wavelengths, especially for tinted lenses
33
Major forms of absorptive lenses
Tinted, glass coating, photochromic and polarizing lenses
34
Absorptive lenses act as filters by
Reducing the amount of transmitted light (tinted or colored glasses)
35
Color lenses absorb
Different wavelength
36
Increase in index of refraction = ___ light reflected and ____ light transmitted.
High reflectance | Low light transmitted
37
(2) have hard coatings that incorporate special UV absorbers
Poly and high index
38
(2) do not provide adequate protection and require UVtreatment
Glass and CR39
39
Lenses without UV protection can cause harm because
They cause pupils to dilate, allowing more harmful UV radiation to enter eye
40
Uv radiation transmitted to ocular surfaces
200-380nm - invisible to human eye - contains more energy than visible light
41
Lens that meets impact safety requirements described by z87.1 means
- it’s at least 2.00mm | - it passes the high velocity impact test (1/4” steel ball, traveling at 150ft/s)
42
The drop ball test is ___. What determines if pass or fail?
FDA regulation for impact resistance. Pass= lens must not fracture
43
What exactly is a fracture in a drop pall test
Lens cracks into 2 or more pieces or lens material detaches from surface
44
Drop ball test was designed for
Glass, plastic lenses can be batch tested
45
Lens material that is not inherently impact resistant and therefore must be treated “tempered” to pass FDA test
Glass, they are individually tested
46
What does tempering mean
Place the outer surface of the lens in a state of compression. Used for glass lenses. Either thermal or chemical
47
Thermal tempering
Lens is heated to ~650 degrees then rapidly cooled-> places outer surfaces in a state of compression and the inner portion in a state of tension-> causes the glass to crumble into small grain chucks when broken instead of sharp pieces
48
What is chemical tempering
Heated salt bath (~400 C) larger ions from slat exchanges w small on lens surface-> surface is compressed, inner portion is in tension. = small granular chunks instead of sharp pieces
49
Polycarbonate is __ more impact resistant than CR39
21x
50
Effects of AR coating/ or scratch resistance on the lense’s impact resistance
decreases Impact resistance
51
Surface starching and pitting i lenses reduces
Impact resistance
52
(2) are intrinsically impact resistant (different amounts tho)
CR39 and poly
53
Glass lenses advantages
Optical clarity, resists scratching, not easily affected by environmental factors
54
Glass disadvantages
Weight and not impact resistant
55
Semi finished lens
Back surface remains unfinished
56
Finished lens
Back surface is ground and polished
57
Ophthalmic crown glass, flint glass, barium crown glass
Types of glass lenses
58
Ophthalmic crow glass is used for
Distance portion of glass bifocal and trifocals lenses
59
Flint glass index of refraction
1.580-1.690 (higher than crown)
60
Flint glass used for
Fuse bifocal segments (higher n than distance lens)
61
Flint glass was historically used for __ until replaced
High powered lenses
62
Barium crown glass used for __ its high index is __?
Fused bifocal segments (higher index than distance) | 1.541-1.616 (higher than crown)
63
“Organic material”
Plastic
64
Hard resin lenses that are made by “casting” where they begin as liquid and cured in oven where cross linking occurs and cant be melted back down to the liquid monomer resin
Thermosetting / CR39
65
Most common type of plastic lens
CR39
66
CR39 block __ of incident UV
55%
67
Can be melted and cooled back and forth from liquid to solid states “injection- molding”
Thermoplastic/ poly
68
Material recommended for monocular, kid and safety/sports wear
Polycarbonate
69
Lens that block 98% of incident UV light
Poly
70
Whats a disadvantage of poly
“Soft” required antiscratch coating, unable to tint
71
Why is trivex so names
Because of its 3 desired qualities, good ABBE, excellent impact resistance, and extremely light weight
72
Lens that would reflect most light if untreated
Flint
73
Combines both thermosetting and thermoplastic monomers giving it superior tensile strength
Trivex
74
Material of choice for drill mountings
Trivex
75
Is trivex able to be tinted
Yes
76
Advantages of high index lenses
- Bend light more efficiently and therefore lenses can be thinner and light - thinned is limited by impact resistance standards and lens stability - can use glass or plastic
77
High index lens from glass material
Flint (1.6) | Barium (1.541)
78
High index plastics
Polycarbonate (1.59) | Trivex (1.53)
79
Disadvantages of high index
Lower ABBE | Increased reflections
80
Power of the front surface of a spectacle lens. May be used to refer to flatter meridian of a toric surface
Base curve
81
FDA regulation that is the law and must be followed
CFR801.410 | Impact resistance
82
Z80.1
Recommendations for prescription ophthalmic lenses
83
Z80.3
Non prescription sunglasses and fashion eyewear requirements
84
Z80.5
Dress ophthalmic frames
85
Z87.1
Occupational and educational eye and face protection | -federal requirement
86
Z80.1 and z80.3
FDA mandates the impact resistance of lenses
87
ANSI standard thats a federal requirement
Z87.1
88
Z87.1 has 2 levels of safety requirements
Non impact and impact
89
Non impact requirement of z87.1
- 3.00mm minimum thickness except more mm can have 2.5 edge thickness - drop ball test - manufactures logo on lens - should tell patient that it meets basic impact requirement but should not be relied up for high impact exposure
90
impact requirement of z87.1
2. 00 mm thickness - high velocity impact test - manufactures logo with a + on the lens
