Discontinued products are still listed in this booklet because they may still need to be identified when a patient presents to an optometrist wearing them. eye talk4 ODMA eyetalk IDENTIFYING PROGRESSIVE LENSES Reprinted from The Optometry Team © Anthony Hanks 2014 With hundreds of different brands and designs of progressive lenses now available, it is often important to be able to identify the particular lens type. WHY PROGRESSIVE LENS IDENTIFICATION IS IMPORTANT • Habitual Design: Awareness of the old (habitual) design helps in selecting the lens type for the new prescription. • If a patient has already adapted to a type of design, it is often best to leave this unchanged. • If a patient has had problems with a type of design, we will want to select a new lens that improves performance in these areas. • Resolving Problems: Identifying different designs helps us to understand why a patient feels more comfortable in one pair of progressives compared to others. • Matching One Lens: When replacing one lens (due to breakage or a change of Rx) it is necessary to know the remaining lens type so that it can be matched. WHAT NEEDS TO BE IDENTIFIED • Fitting Cross • Since this is normally placed at the pupil centre, there is no mark on the lens at the fitting cross. • Instead, the side engravings are marked and then placed on a layout card to mark the fitting cross. • Note that the fitting cross is not always the same height above or below the line of the side markings. • Lens Maker, Brand and Material • Indicated by either the shape of the side engravings or additional information below them.

Figure 2: Marking the Fitting Cross for a lens design that has been identified as being 4 above the side engravings LEGEND - VARIABLE NEAR INSETS Some lens designs have a variable amount of near inset in each lens from the distance optical centre. Var Variable inset - based upon the lens power (base curve) & near addition. Vbc Variable inset - based upon the base curve. Vca Variable inset - calculated for the combination of individual parameters, such as PD, lens power, near add, base curve, vertex distance, frame wrap and pantoscopic tilt. Vpd Variable inset - based upon the PD. Vrx Variable inset - specified as part of the patient’s prescription. 6 ODMA eyetalk Mat’lProductIndex Diam Inset Features Engravings Fit X BONASTAR R amplePro 1.50 1.5 (80) Vpd ~ ~ ~ ~ 225 // E 50 + 4 R amplePro 1.50 Polarized 1.5 (80) Vpd ~ ~ ~ U 225 // E 50 + 4 R amplePro 1.50 Transitions 1.5 (76)Vpd ~ ~ P U 225 // E 50 + 4 R amplePro 1.56 1.56 (80)Vpd ~ H ~ U 225 // E 56 + 4 R amplePro 1.56 Photochromic 1.56 (80)Vpd ~ H P U 225 // E 56 + 4 P amplePro 1.59 Polycarbonate 1.59 (75) Vpd ~ H ~ U 225 // E 59 + 4 P amplePro 1.59 Polycarbonate Polarized 1.59 (75) Vpd ~ H ~ U 225 // E 59 + 4 P amplePro 1.59 Polycarbonate Transitions 1.59 (79)Vpd ~ H P U 225 // E 59 + 4 R amplePro 1.60 1.6 (75)Vpd AH ~ U 225 // E 60 + 4 R amplePro 1.60 Polarized 1.6 (75)Vpd AH ~ U 225 // E 60 + 4 R amplePro 1.60 Transitions 1.6 (75) Vpd AH P U 225 // E 60 + 4 R amplePro 1.67 1.67 (75) Vpd AH ~ U 225 // E 67 + 4 R amplePro 1.67 Polarized 1.67 (75)Vpd AH ~ U 225 // E 67 + 4 R amplePro 1.67 Transitions 1.67 (80)Vpd AH P U 225 // E 67 + 4 R amplePro 1.74 1.74 (75)Vpd AH ~ U 225 // E 74 + 4 R amplePro 1.74 Transitions 1.74 (80) Vpd AH P U 225 // E 74 + 4 R amplePro 1.50 Bluease 1.5 (80) Vpd A ~ ~ U 225 // E 50 + 4 R amplePro 1.56 Bluease 1.56 (75)Vpd AH ~ U 225 // E 56 + 4 R amplePro 1.59 Bluease 1.59 (75)Vpd AH ~ U 225 // E 59 + 4 R amplePro 1.60 Bluease 1.6 (75)Vpd AH ~ U 225 // E 60 + 4 R amplePro 1.67 Bluease 1.67 (75)Vpd AH ~ U 225 // E 67 + 4 R amplePro 1.74 Bluease 1.74 (75) Vpd AH ~ U 225 // E 74 + 4 R Bi-DigitalPro 1.5 1.5 (80)Var A ~ ~ ~ 22 // DS + 4 P Bi-DigitalPro 1.59 1.59 (80)Var AH ~ U 22 // DSP + 4 R Bi-DigitalPro 1.6 1.6 (80)Var AH ~ U 22 // DS6 + 4 R Bi-DigitalPro 1.67 1.67 (80)Var AH ~ U 22 // DS67 + 4 R dailyPro2 1.5 (75) Vca ~ ~ ~ ~ 225 // EC + 4 R digitalPro Long 1.5 (75)2.5 A ~ ~ U 225 // U + 2 R digitalPro Short 1.5 (75)2.5 A ~ ~ ~ 225 // S + 2 R iNature2 1.5 (80)2.5 A ~ ~ ~ + 225 // + U + 4 R OfficePro 1.5 1.5 (75)2.5 A ~ ~ ~ // + 0 R realPro 1.5 (60/80) Var A ~ ~ ~ 27 // 2M + 4 P realPro 1.59 (60/80) Var AH ~ ~ 27 // 2MP + 4 R realPro 1.6 (60/80) Var AH ~ ~ 27 // 2M60 + 4 REALPRO PROGRESSIVE LENS Bonastar RealPro Progressive lens design offers optimal vision through distinctly advanced lens technologies – Image Equaliser and Controlled Power Aberration • Quick and easy adaptation • Clear and wide fields of vision for all zones • Enhanced visual comfort • Optimal, accurate vision • Reduced “swimming” effect • Effortless viewing across the lens with reduced eye strain • Stable vision, even while moving AVAILABLE IN: 1.50 Clear, Polarized, Transitions GEN8, XTRActive NG, XTRActive Polarized, Drivewear 1.59 Clear, Polarized, Transitions GEN8, Drivewear 1.60, 1.67 Clear, Polarized, Transitions GEN8, XTRActive NG, XTRActive Polarized www.bonastar.com.au | 02 9310 16888 ODMA eyetalk Mat’lProductIndex Diam Inset Features Engravings Fit X R realPro 1.67 (60/80) Var AH ~ ~ 27 // 2M67 + 4 R realPro 1.74 (60/80) Var AH ~ ~ 27 // 2M74 + 4 R realPro Short 1.5 (60/80) Var A ~ ~ ~ 27 // 2M S + 4 R realPro Short 1.59 (60/80) Var AH ~ ~ 27 // 2MP S + 4 R realPro Short 1.6 (60/80) Var AH ~ ~ 27 // 2M60 S + 4 R realPro Short 1.67 (60/80) Var AH ~ ~ 27 // 2M67 S + 4 R realPro Short 1.74 (60/80) Var AH ~ ~ 27 // 2M74 S + 4 ESSILOR R Essentials Accord 1.50 1.5 (80)Var A ~ ~ ~ 27 // H + 4 P Essentials Accord 1.59 1.59 (80) Var AH ~ U 27 // H + 4 R Essentials Accord 1.60 1.6 (80) Var AH ~ U 27 // H + 4 R Essentials Accord 1.67 1.67 (80)Var AH ~ U 27 // H + 4 R Essentials Accord Short 3.0 1.50 1.5 (80)Var A ~ ~ ~ 27 // HS + 4 P Essentials Accord Short 3.0 1.59 1.59 (80) Var AH ~ U 27 // HS + 4 R Essentials Accord Short 3.0 1.60 1.6 (80) Var AH ~ U 27 // HS + 4 R Essentials Accord Short 3.0 1.67 1.67 (80)Var AH ~ U 27 // HS + 4 R Essentials Assent 1.50 1.5 (80)Var A ~ ~ ~ 27 // Si + 4 P Essentials Assent 1.59 1.59 (80) Var AH ~ U 27 // Si + 4 R Essentials Assent 1.60 1.6 (80) Var AH ~ U 27 // Si + 4 R Essentials Assent 1.67 1.67 (80)Var AH ~ U 27 // Si + 4 R Essentials Assent Short 3.0 1.50 1.5 (80)Var A ~ ~ ~ 27 // Si s + 4 P Essentials Assent Short 3.0 1.59 1.59 (80)Var AH ~ U 27 // Si s + 4 R Essentials Assent Short 3.0 1.60 1.6 (80) Var AH ~ U 27 // Si s + 4 R Essentials Assent Short 3.0 1.67 1.67 (80) Var AH ~ U 27 // Si s + 4 R Interview -
