Progressive Lens Layout and Decentration

This week we continue our series on finishing layout work. All finishing work for progressive lenses is based on lens movement within the frame eyewire opening. The lens fitting cross is moved to match the wearer’s distance PD and OC height. We do this by decentering the lens. In this lesson we work through three examples of calculating horizontal and vertical decentration. Optician training includes working finishing calculations for progressive lenses. Just as we did for our series on prism, finishing layout work will be covered in small, incremental “baby-steps” so students can easily build on prior knowledge.

The only exclusively uncut lab in the country; we provide our customers with independent, high-end alternatives to corporate brands. Through craftsmanship, technology, and independent, innovative vendors like Younger, IOT, A&R, and Quantum Innovations we offer our customers the Integrity portfolio of freeform lenses and coatings. Made in the USA, the Integrity brand is not a generic house-brand, but is the absolute best available, designed to give the wearer that “wow!” experience. In addition to the digital line, we still offer conventional surfacing, including glass. Maintaining traditional equipment gives our customers vastly more flexibility in their dispensing, particularly when it comes to more difficult prescriptions. Learn More: http://www.laramyk.com
