This week, we learn how to use the lensmeter to read both the distance and near prescription powers of a pair of mounted lined bifocal lenses. This lesson includes how to use the lensometer to read the lens sphere power, cylinder power, axis and add power. We demonstrate the use of back vertex power when verifying a lined bifocal. Video highlights how to check a binocular patient pupillary distance and how to measure a bifocal segment height. Verification of lined bifocal lenses or lined multifocal lenses is part of the job of any optician. Opticians use the lensmeter to verify lenses. The lens verification process is also known as lens final inspection or glasses final inspection. The Learn the Lensmeter kits are available for OpticianWorks Total Access members to check out.
