BS/EN 2738 includes powers to two decimal places,vertex distance,specified for powers over combination of + / - 5.00D and no degree Sign if not written correctly refer to Prescriber
103
Base curves
Steep Base curve = Centre thickness, distortion,Spec mag + retinal Image will be Increased Plus power are surfaced on negative Base curves and Minus Powered lenses are Surfaced on positive base Curves
104
Splitting Prism
Vertical = opposite Horizontal = Same direction
105
Anisometropia
difference of 2.00 D or more in Power between 2 eyes if VA's are recorded may determine whether this will lead to visual problems Such as vertical Prism and diplopia at near
106
Aniseikonia
.if the Rx are different and both VA'S are good this may Cause Unequal retinal image size (x will complain of blurred Vision,headaches,dizziness when wearing Spec's and viewing distance objects An ISecikonic maybe dispensed to increase RIS of least Positive eye known as Sized lens
107
Single vision differential Prismatic effect
occurs when patient looks down through the lens to read may experience diplopia caused by Anisometropia due to the different amounts of vertical Prism when looking away from the optical Centres of the lens Solution Drop Spec's for near vision tasks 2nd pair of Spec's with OC lower slab off Base down from most negative Powered lens Tilt head down Slightly for near vision contact lenses
108
Amblyopia
difference of 2 lines or more in VA between 2 eyes when no reported clinical Problems
109
Tinted
plastic = dip dyed, Polarised,vacuum coated ( mirror tints) or photochromic Glass - Vacuum coated Or Solid Or bonded equitint a lens which is vacuum coated/ dip dyed will not have Same properties as a glass Solid tint -give the most protection as the tint is all the way through the lens
110
Infra red Radiation ( IR)
not harmful radiation more than 750nm which is troublesome in equatorial regions + industrial welding Rayban G15 lenses Zeiss umbra = solid glass - ferrous oxide to absorb 100% IR and uv Thicker lens Colour darker where thicker makes uneven

How much are Standard ppl inset
1.5mm to 4mm
162
State 3 factors that control the inset off ppl
Design Softer design = more inset Add low add = more inset Distance rx - minus rx will have more inset that plus rx as myopes converge more

What is a best form lens
A lens designed to eliminate 9r minimalise aberrations and distortions
166
Name 5 defectsthat are reduced or eliminated by best form lenses
Coma Oblique astigmatism Distortion Curvature Tca transverse chromatic aberration

Which Image shells should fall on the far point sphere
Tangential and sagittal
168
Advantages of aspheric lenses
Flatter Thinner Lighter Less speg mag/min
169
How do aspheric reduce spec mag
Lens is flatter and thinner Sm = power factor x shape factor
170
Difference between point focal and percival lenses
Point focal- steeper base curve , therefore thicker Percival- flatter base curve therefore thinner but more distortion
171
MTE lenses
Minimum tangential error
172
Which markings on lenses are permanent
Add (temporal) Manufacturer logo Lens design Material Index Base curve
173
Why is it important to use correct manufacturers template
Distance between f8tting Cross and prism reference point varies between 0,2,4,6mm
174
Ppl How is prism calculated what direction
2/3 of add is worked as base down
175
Jump
Sudden introduction of base down prism as the eye crosses the dividing line
