Objective

Students are able to introduce individual spectacle solutions in different viewing conditions at work, home and leisure activities. Students are able to explain comprehensively the properties of various lenses and how they affect the usability of the spectacles. Students are able to explain the specific designs and visual limitations of the multifocal spectacles. They are able to calculate spectacle magnification and the effect of vertex distance and describe the structure of aspheric and atoric lens.
After work placement (4 credits) students are able to work in customer service in an optometric practice. They are able to choose frames and lenses to the customer. They are able to adjust the pair of spectacles to fit the customer’s face and head. They are able to glaze spectacles and make simple repairs.

Content

Spectacle magnification, back vertex distance, physiochemical properties of lenses, presbyopic lenses, aspheric and atoric lenses. Filtering properties of optical materials, filter lenses and sunglasses, types of radiation, safety glasses, lenses correcting aberrations and fresnel optics. Customer guidance for selecting and wearing the new spectacles. Measurements for lenses, selecting, glazing and adjusting frames for the wearer.
