Laboratory of Ophthalmic Optics I 1100-3BO13
The aim of classes in the workshop is to acquire the skills to make corrective glasses given parameters and broadening and deepening the knowledge acquired during the Ophtalmic Optics lecture. During classes, students learn methods of processing eyeglass lenses made of various materials and gain practice in determining the pupillary distance and adjusting finished glasses.
1.Determination of pupillary distance using a pupillary ruler and a pupillometer.
2. Determining the mounting height of a spectacle lens using the pupil ruler
and devices intended for this purpose
3. Measurement of the pantoscopic angle using the pupil ruler and other devices
intended.
4. Cutting templates by hand to make eyeglass lenses
5. Cutting out a shape using a diamond knife in an uncut mineral lens
6. Splitting of an uncut mineral lens to obtain a lens intended for
grinding on a hand grinder
7. Processing of a mineral lens on a manual grinder and framing the lens
trimmed in a metal and plastic frame.
8.Making glasses with given parameters on manual grinders and
automatic grinding machines (spherical, toric, bifocal, prismatic lenses)
9.Reading the power and assembly parameters of ready-made glasses (lenses
spherical, toric, bifocal)
10. Measuring of uncut spherical and toric lenses using
lensmeter
10.Adjusting glasses (earpieces, nose pads, adjusting the angle of the frame curvature, angle
pantoscopic,)
11. Minor repairs (replacement of nose pads, replacement of screw, use of filler in
mounting groove in the spectacle frame)
12. Assessment of the correctness of the glasses made
