Are we giving the right measures for latest development in spectacle lenses? Our ability to see starts when light reflects off an object at which we are looking and enters the eye. As it enters the eye, the light is not focused. The first step in seeing is to focus the light rays onto the retina,we all know that retina is light sensitive layer of the eye. Once the light is focused, it stimulates Photoreceptor cells to send millions of electrochemical impulses along the optic nerve to the brain. With refractive errors comes another challenge to focus the light rays on retina. And in order to achieve the best focus and clarity of vision one would require the best spectacle lens material, best PD measurements, best lens coatings and so on all the best features of spectacle lenses. Your lab is your best resource to discuss the ways to create great looking eyewear, get information on new lens products, and know what lenses have been most successful. When ordering, be sure that you have all the details needed so the order is placed completely – if anything is missing, the job will be delayed. The lab will call you for the missing data, but a day or more might be lost by the time that you and your lab connect. If you told the customer that the new spectacle would be ready in a week, the patient, of course, has begun counting the days the minute they left your office. A loss of a day or two is critical to meeting the patient’s expectation. So, be clear and complete when placing the order. Contact your lab representative for practice building and promotional programs. Use them to help set practice and product goals and provide the training, literature and point of sale materials needed to accomplish them. With the increasing demand to Digital Vision the technology is concentrating on producing more and more sophisticated spectacle lenses, and they are the new multi-aspheric lenses. These are produced using Digital equipment or lathe machines with very accurate results every time you produce a lens. And in order achieve the best results with these multi-aspheric spectacle lenses as a practitioner I would encourage every dispensing optician or Optometrist to improve upon their PD marking accuracy. It’s not time to discuss how to mark PD, rather we are now in a time zone to discuss how accurately the PD to be measured and which are the best gadgets to be used for monocular PD measurement. Hello to all the readers I am an Optometrist and I am currently attached with an organization in which I get a chance to interact with many Opticians and Optometrist every day. In this first part of my continuous articles which I intended to write – the main idea is to share the current practice and key areas of improvement required for better Optometric practices and Dispensing eyewear. Any article related questions and feedback can be forwarded to faheemopto@gmail.
