3. 19.01.2005 F+E BG / Nadine Jung / Martin Zimmermann3 Sport lenses "Technical Product Information“ 1. Product details The face form angle The plane of the frame does not coincide with the plane of the eyeshape The resulting angle between the two planes is known as the face form angle (FFA) Plane of the frame Plane of the eyeshape

4. 19.01.2005 F+E BG / Nadine Jung / Martin Zimmermann4 Sport lenses "Technical Product Information“ 1. Product details The tilt angle The tilt is approximately the same as the face form angle when the point of vision coincides with the geometrical centre of the eyeshape In dependence on the face form angle, the curvature of the lenses and the frame and fitting data Point of vision Geometrical centre of the eyeshape Tilt angle Plane of the frame Tangent at vision point on front surface

General notes on ordering

23. 19.01.2005 F+E BG / Nadine Jung / Martin Zimmermann23 Sport lenses "Technical Product Information“ 3. General notes on ordering Measuring the individual parameters: PD, pantoscopic tilt as usual FFA as usual (if the FFA differs substantially in the fitted state: Note as in Tips and Technology, Sport) CVD measurement not from the front, but obliquely from the side: Plane of the frame CVD Plane of the eyeshape CVD measuring ruler

24. 19.01.2005 F+E BG / Nadine Jung / Martin Zimmermann24 Sport lenses "Technical Product Information“ 3. General notes on ordering Ordering with frame and fitting data –Absolutely necessary! –Eyeshapes transferred using the order form –If there are any questions in this respect, refer to the Tips and Technology for Sport lenses –e.g. Manual determination of the eyeshapes –Determination of the eyeshapes during tracing

25. 19.01.2005 F+E BG / Nadine Jung / Martin Zimmermann25 Sport lenses "Technical Product Information“ 3. General notes on ordering and on edging The corrected PD for edging (schematic representation) -> the COR PD is usually smaller than the customer PD Plane of the frame Plane of the eyeshape Customer PD L Customer PD R Visual axis when looking straight ahead

26. 19.01.2005 F+E BG / Nadine Jung / Martin Zimmermann26 Sport lenses "Technical Product Information“ The COR PD results from the calculated decentration in the x direction. This is dependent on the following parameters: Frame data –Eyeshape length –Distance between the lenses –Face form angle PD Base curve New pictogram on the lens envelope (COR PD)

27. 19.01.2005 F+E BG / Nadine Jung / Martin Zimmermann27 Sport lenses "Technical Product Information“ Determining the COR PD (in advance to determine the diameter) In the Rx Lab Dialogue under "Tools" Point "Sport Edging PD…“ On the BTablet under "Centration nasal“ The COR PD is only approximate; it is better to perform an Rx lab calculation to determine the diameter correctly!

28. 19.01.2005 F+E BG / Nadine Jung / Martin Zimmermann28 Sport lenses "Technical Product Information“ Check the lenses with reference to the lens envelope Distance power: Nominal measured value for sphere, cylinder and axis at distance measuring point (fitting point) Prismatic power: Combined power from thinning prism, prescribed prism and compensation prism Addition: Difference of the average power between the near measuring point and the distance measuring point

29. 19.01.2005 F+E BG / Nadine Jung / Martin Zimmermann29 Sport lenses "Technical Product Information“ An offset towards the eye results from the tilted position of the lens and the prismatic deflection. When checking the centration with the spectacles being worn, the fitting points is not at the pupil centre since this is shown outwardly offset. Check the glazed lenses in the sports frame

30. 19.01.2005 F+E BG / Nadine Jung / Martin Zimmermann30 Sport lenses "Technical Product Information“ 4.Lens calculation Tableau + BTablet: Job recording, not a job calculation! –PD is converted from BTablet. If all parameters and frame data have been entered correctly, the COR PD values from Rx Lab calculation and tableau coincide!

33. 19.01.2005 F+E BG / Nadine Jung / Martin Zimmermann33 Sport lenses "Technical Product Information“ Entry in "Trial frame“ With Perfalit Sport Set pantoscopic tilt to "Standard CVD correction if trial frame CVD differs from prescription CVD

34. 19.01.2005 F+E BG / Nadine Jung / Martin Zimmermann34 Sport lenses "Technical Product Information“ 4.Differences to previous lens calculation Face form angle: Previously no difference in the tilt angle of the lens and the FFA No rounding: Required values are calculated and surfaced precisely (e.g. prism 0.32 D) Reference point: Optical centre and reference point do not coincide; this was previously not taken into account. Surfacing: The lens can be checked using the calculated nominal values and be fitted more precisely using COR PD.

35. 19.01.2005 F+E BG / Nadine Jung / Martin Zimmermann35 Sport lenses "Technical Product Information“ 5.Special features of production Perfalit Sport and Impression ILT Sport: The useful diameters can be restricted due to the high front surface curvature The diameter depends on eyeshape length of the sports frame (should be as small as possible) fitting (should be as central as possible) –Sports frames usually have a large eyeshape length so that a large PD would be more advantageous A higher RI generates advantages (1.6) MDM is not always the best solution due to the minimum edge thicknesses

36. 19.01.2005 F+E BG / Nadine Jung / Martin Zimmermann36 Sport lenses "Technical Product Information“ 6.Complaints (incompatibility) Different angles for R/L arise between the lens and the angle of view for lateral movements of gaze –The spontaneous visual impression can differ from that of the previous spectacles –The change can require a period of adaptation

37. 19.01.2005 F+E BG / Nadine Jung / Martin Zimmermann37 Sport lenses "Technical Product Information“ 6.Complaints (incompatibility) Different magnitudes of aberration arise for R/L at the corresponding points of vision for lateral movements of gaze –Astigmatism –Effect –Magnification –Distortion See on the right for an example of magnification

38. 19.01.2005 F+E BG / Nadine Jung / Martin Zimmermann38 Sport lenses "Technical Product Information“ When analysing the incompatibility, differentiation between monocular and binocular –Monocular: possibly glazing error –Binocular: interpose a prism

39. 19.01.2005 F+E BG / Nadine Jung / Martin Zimmermann39 Sport lenses "Technical Product Information“ 7."Expandable" delivery range“ –Perfalit Sport and Impression ILT Sport are only produced in the delivery range shown! –The power ranges are selected for the different lens versions so that the binocular aberration is still just acceptable with a maximum orderable FFA –A higher addition than 2.5D is not possible, as an addition of 2.5D would also result with an ordered addition of 3.0D –No guaranteed production of orders outside the delivery range (release by the product manager) –With Perfalit Sport 1.5 and PCM  Externally: Diameter 75  Internal diameter 80  -> Presentation in diameter 78 possible

40. 19.01.2005 F+E BG / Nadine Jung / Martin Zimmermann40 Sport lenses "Technical Product Information“ 8.The official line Point out the general problems with highly tilted lenses „Physical laws" cannot be suspended so that power ranges are limited Aberration –Prismatic side effects –Astigmatism –Refraction errors Binocular problems –With lateral movements of gaze –Different visual impressions are unavoidable The system-induced binocular imbalance can result in longer adaptation periods in very sensitive wearers

41. 19.01.2005 F+E BG / Nadine Jung / Martin Zimmermann41 Questions already raised Why cannot SV Sport be ordered in decentred form? Pre-decentration causes problems in positioning the measuring point in production. For this reason and for time reasons (market launch date), this expansion was not pursued further. Can the BC be changed with Extra Curved? Extra Curved only has one available BC (ILT: BC 7.5; SV: BC 7.93 or 7.5) -> Extension to follow Can the BC be changed with Clip-In? Yes; Clip-In has a more curved BC association than comparable SV lenses

42. 19.01.2005 F+E BG / Nadine Jung / Martin Zimmermann42 Questions already raised How can the diameter already be determined before the order? –Enter actual customer PD under BTABLET in addition to "Centration nasal –Press the "Centration nasal" button - the dialogue window for the calculation of the edging PD opens –Please check whether all input parameters are correct here –After the calculation, the edging PD is taken over automatically in BTABLET by pressing "OK –The diameter is displayed in the window "Du Min"
