  • What is the description of a gradient tint?
    A gradient tint on a lens lightens towards the bottom of the lens.
  • When focusing the eyepiece of a lensometer, why is it important to stop turning the eyepiece when a sharp focus is first obtained?
    Turning the eyepiece past the point of focus could cause accommodation.

  • How is the power wheel scale graduated for power between -3.00 and +3.00?

    1/8 D steps
  • When measuring a lens, you find that the target sphere lines focus at -2.25 D with the cylinder axis wheel at 93 degrees, and the cylinder lines focus at -4.75 D without changing the cylinder axis. What would be the presentation of the lens?
    -2.25 -2.50 x093

  • What is the cylinder axis tolerance for a lens with a cylinder power of -1.00 D?
    +/- 3 degrees
  • There can be no more than _______________ prism diopters of unwanted horizontal prism in a lens.
    2/3
  • There can be no more than _______________ prism diopter of unwanted vertical prism in a lens.
    1/3
  • The vertical segment location tolerance for a mounted lens is within ______ mm of specification.
    1
