-
When the optical centers of a pair of minus lenses are positioned

- How much prism
is induced 5 mm away from the optical center of a +2.00 diopter lens?
- How much prism
is induced 10 mm away from the optical center of a �0.25 diopter lens?
- How much prism
is induced 2 mm away from the optical center of a +16.00 diopter lens?
- In verifying a
pair of spectacles which have recently been returned from the lab, you
notice that the optical centers are positioned 61 mm apart. The work
order indicates the patient�s PD measures 64
mm and the prescription calls for -3.00 spheres in each eye. How much
total prism is induced and in which direction is the base?
- A patient�s prescription
calls for OD: +4.75 OS: +2.50. The optical centers of the finished spectacles
are found to be positioned 4 mm too wide. How much total prism is induced
and in which direction is the base?
