It’s vital that your measurements are accurately documented for each patient, including single-vision wearers, and the new technology available can help make that a priority. Lenses improperly balanced horizontally and vertically can include prismatic and power errors. Monocular PDs and fitting height measurements are particularly important, especially as the power of the lens increases. When submitting an order, these measurements are crucial, as without them, your patients are not getting the most up-to-date versions of their lenses. The measurements form a 3-dimensional matrix of the lenses in a frame. The measurement values affect the way lenses will perform, as well as ensuring that your patients get the most out of modern lens designs. Read on to learn about five top considerations when fitting modern lenses. Just like in the classic show, The Six Million Dollar Man, we have the technology, when it comes to optimizing our patients’ vision.
If you’re the only one nearby still using analog tools, it’ll give your practice the appearance of having less value even though that’s not necessarily true. Having the best technology enables you to give patients confidence when they visit your practice.
