Q

where the AR coating applied to the lens surface
is ¼ of the wavelength of light thick. The reflected path from the back of the coating with be 1/2 ⋋ longer. Light reflected from the back of the coating is thus 180 degrees out of phase from light reflected from the front. If the amplitude of light reflected at each surface of the coating is equal then they will cancel each other out

A

Path condition

Q

Where the amplitude of light reflected from
each surface of an AR coating is equal and, if 180 degrees out of phase, will cancel each other out. For this to occur, the refractive index of the coating must be equal to the square root of the refractive index of the lens material

Q

DD Occupatioal lens (Tri) are set up how?

A

Bottom - near
Top - intermediate or near
Remainder - distance

26
Q

Balance lenses

A

lens placed in a frame which looks like the lens for the opposite eye to balance appearance and
weight

27
Q

Biconvex lenses

A

a lens style where both the front and back

surfaces are plus

28
Q

Bi-concave lenses

A

a lens style where both front and back

surfaces are minus

29
Q

Monovision lenses

A

distance only correction in one eye, near vision
correction in the other eye -> results in acceptable clear vision
at both distances

30
Q

Monovision lenses can be good for who?

A

Pt’s with strabismus

31
Q

Even though both eyes are still working together in monovision lenses, what happens to depth perception?

A

Decreased

32
Q

Lenticular lenses are used to correct what?

A

Extreme hyperopia

33
Q

Lens where all of the power of the lens is concentrated in a small area in the center

A

Lenticular lens

34
Q

What’s the power of the carrier lens with a lenticular lens?

A

Little or no power

35
Q

a minus lenticular lens, used for high minus corrections is known as what?

A

Myodisc

36
Q

In a pair of bifocals that is flat top (not executive), and you notice the line continues all the way to the end of the lens, what does this indicate? (Only in one lens..not both)

A

Slab off prism

37
Q

4 methods for verifying impact resistance

A

High mass impact (Drop ball test)
High velocity impact (pointed projectile)
Heat treatment
Chemical treatment

38
Q

Which method of rendering materials impact resistant results in greater impact resistance?

A

Chemical treatment

39
Q

Which method of rendering materials impact resistant can be applied to objects of complex shape

A

Chemical treatment

40
Q

Which method of rendering materials impact resistant is quick

A

Heat treatment

41
Q

Which method of rendering materials impact resistant has equipment that is inexpensive

A

Heat treatment

42
Q

How is glass tempering verified?

A

Polariscope (colmascope)

43
Q

Explain a polariscope (colmascope)

A

consists of two polarized filters, one on the top and one on the bottom of the instrument with their absorption are perpendicular, i.e., cross-polarized

44
Q

When verifying tempering glass, a normal lens place between the filters appears how?

A

Uniformly dark

45
Q

When verifying tempering glass, a tempered lens will demonstrate what patterns?

A

Stress patterns - Maltese Cross

46
Q

Markings important for occupational safety

A

Z87

47
Q

Techniques to reduce thickness

A
Frame shape and size
Frame type
Lens edging choices to hide thickness
Hi-index lenses
Roll and polish
Centering the OC over GC
Edge painting - edge match to frame color
48
Q

What frame shape and size should be chosen to reduce thickness?

A

Smaller lens opening
Less wide, less tall, rounder the better
Plus RX - smaller a good idea but less impact than minus RX

49
Q

What frame type should be chosen to reduce thickness

A

Avoid rimless and semi-rimless frames

Full plastic frames hide thickness

50
Q

Pro for adding polish to lens edge

A

Exposed edges are polished to enhance finished, “invisible” look of lens

51
Q

Con for adding polish to lens edge

A

Seeing “rainbows” around the edges

52
Q

3 adaptation issues

A

Base curve
Polycarbonate
Issues with polarization

53
Q

Adaptation issues with base curve

A

flatter base curves result in thinner lenses, but steeper base curves have less distortion
Happens with patients sensitive to subtle changes in vision, when
patient gets a second pair of similar eyewear, or when the patient
only replaces one lens

54
Q

Adaptation issues with polycarbonate lenses
