How do I know my glasses lens size?

FIND YOUR CURRENT FRAME SIZE Frame sizing is typically noted on the inside of either temple (see illustration below). The eye/lens size is usually first, then the bridge size, then temple size.

How do you find the minimum blank size?

The alternate method for calculating the minimum blank size is to measure the frame while on the wearer. The distance from the pupil centre to the widest point of the rim of the frame, then doubled, provides the minimum blank size. Don’t forget to add the extra 2 mm to allow for bevel and lens edge witnesses.

What does 51mm mean in glasses?

The first two numbers represent the width of the lens (51 means a lens width of 51 mm.) The second two numbers are the distance be- tween the bridge, the area between the two lenses that arches over the nose (17 means a DBL of 17 mm.) The last four numbers of the order number (3011) are the color.

How do you find the blank diameter?

Blank Diameter = MAX thread pitch diameter – . 002 inches [or . 051 MM].

What is Prentice’s rule?

Prentice’s rule. The prism power of a lens at any point on its surface, in prism diopters, is equal to the distance away from the optical center (h) in centimeters times the power of the lens in diopters.

What’s the difference between 52 and 54 glasses?

Lens width is measured from left to right at the widest point in the lens. Between a 52 and 54 eyesize, the 54 will have a wider lens so the whole frame will be wider too. The lens will also be a little taller to preserve the shape. The bridge and temple measurements will usually remain the same.

What’s the difference between 49mm and 51mm?

The only difference is size, the 49mm is obviously smaller than the 51mm. The measurement is the width of each lens. The difference between the two is the size of the lense. The 51mm is larger than the 49mm.

What is minor diameter?

Definition of minor diameter : the smallest diameter of a screw thread.

What is blank diameter?

What is a Blank Diameter? The blank diameter is the diameter of the part onto which the threads will be rolled. This diameter is typically equal to MAX thread pitch diameter less .

How do you calculate lens Decentration?

The total decentration can be calculated by subtracting the patient’s PD from the frame PD. This measurement assumes that the patient’s face is perfectly symmetrical. Monocular decentrations can be calculated by taking monocular PD measurements and subtracting from half the frame PD.
