Progressive Lens Fitting Instructions

Lens Frame Fitting

  • Before taking any measurements, make sure the patient is sitting straight, without any back support.
  • Adjust the frame to correctly fit the patient.
  • Ensure a pantascopic tilt of 10"-12".
  • Minimize the vertex distance by fitting the frame as close to the face as possible. This will ensure a wide field of vision at all ranges.

Pupil Distance Measurement

Be aware that the PD can differ from eye to eye.

  • When using a pupilometer for measuring pupil distance, verify the result through a manual test.
  • If a pupilometer is not available:
    • Position yourself at the patient’s eye level, making sure he is looking directly into your eyes.
    • Mark the pupil center on the demo lens in the frame.
    • Place the demo lens on the centration chart and read the monocular PD.

Height Measurement Fitting

Be aware that the fitting height can differ from eye to eye.

  • Position yourself at the patient’s eye level.
  • Mark the pupil center on the demo lens in the frame.
  • We recommend a minimum fitting height of 19 mm.

Cut-Out Confirmation

  • Check both the right and left lenses.
  • Align the pupil center marking over the cross on the centration chart.
  • Make sure the lens frame shape falls within the selected lens diameter.

Lens Verification

  • If lenses are not marked, restore the markings with the Creation marker.
  • Fit the completed eyeglasses on the patient and verify that the fitting cross is aligned with the pupil center.
