hello welcome to the clinic.
I have a vital set of face/eye measurements to take today so your job is to relax
keep your glasses on; just look towards face
just checking the segment height of the bifocal requirements there.
And for the other side, excellent, double checking this side, back to the left segment.
Segment height thank you
okay
I have two rulers here just to place on the plane of the brow
okay just relax
bring that in there, that's checking the temple width.
lovely and if we go like this
just going to check the head width and just bring this ruler
in
so just touching the side of the face there
okay looking what we have next
right I'm just going to place this little cursor just behind the ear and take an angular
measurement; this is the download angle of drop
on that side it's about 30 degrees and just behind the left ear
25 degrees, thank you
I'm just going to place this behind the ear this way and read off the scale here; this
is the length to tangent measurement, length to tangent
and just on this side
good
okay if we flip it this way we're going to do length to bend and angle of side
excellent, and the angular measurement is about 20 degrees there, and for this side
please
around the length to bend there
excellent
that was a length to bend and angle of side.
Prior to that was length to tangent.
Okay moving on we must do the spley angle next
so let's bring this like this
now this larger line there out of the three is going to be just lined up middle of the
nose there, bring that in ever so slightly
good that's on the right side
and for the left side there
just double check the nose thank you, that was the spley angle there.
We have the frontal angle where we just have to orientate the scale like this and just
bring this to about there, just bring the cursor in
here we have nasal contact there
and for the left side please, I just want that about there
just double check the left side so and we have a nice angular measurement there, thank
you
okay let's have a look what we've got next
okay just turn to the left, just going to check the bridge projection
and turn to the other side
okay since you have a positive bridge projection I'm just going to place this here, just gently
like so and just flip that there, I'm going to bring it in to just touch the eyelashes
and I'll take the measurement off the scale for you there, okay so if you're ready just
look down slightly
okay take a blink
and blink again.
Can you feel the cursor there?
Okay and blink, did you feel the cursor touch the lashes?
Excellent so bridge projection positive, excellent
and next up
okay very simple one, this is apical radius, I'm going to use the grooves here to find
the most snug fit on the bridge
okay does that feel tight there?
and how does that one feel?
This one is a little loose so I'm going to opt for the eight millimetre radius there,
thank you
okay I'm just going to rest this on the top of the nose, going to do something called
the crest height so rest that there, check from the left side
and double checking there please
eight eight plus five, thirteen, and for the other side please, just rest this here, crest
height on the right side there that's about the same eight millimetres.
I'll add five to that, we have thirteen
okay next set of measurements
we're going to do distance between rims, let's get the cursor the correct way
okay I'm just going to place this on the nose, just come there and just relax, I'm just going
to bring the cursor in there, do we have the contact?
That's 15 millimetres below DBR, just double checking
okay so DBR 15 millimetres below crest
I'm going to flip it and do it at 10 millimetres
there, just relax
I'd just like to double check this one
I just want slightest contact with your face
excellent
and moving on
let's take a pupillary distance measurements
looking into this eye please, and this eye, this one, just here, here and here, 64 millimetres
and
just looking at the tip of my finger, also double check that measurement at near
about 60 millimetres at near
okay let's do some pupil size measurements
Just looking straight, going to check the right eye there
excellent and for the left eye please, keep looking straight
Okay this scale here is going to be for Iris diameter, going to start at the larger end
of the scale
just keep looking straight off into the distance
that is about 12 millimetres there and let's go to the other side
and that's 12 again thank you
and let's find the next scale
okay just looking straight again, going to check the monocular pupillary distance right
and left
excellent that's about 32 on the right 32 on the left, thank you
okay we have a nice little scale here, this vertical scale, just look towards my open
eye there, thank you, the vertical palpebral aperture there, good
so if we can do it on the other side there looking into this eye please
and you're nice and symmetrical so far that is about 13 millimetres
okay what else do we have next to measure?
looking to the side I want to check the width of the ear and the total height of the ear
because ears can grow as we age
and the width of the left ear there
and just the height of the ear
thank you
keep looking straight ahead I'm just going to check the eyelash length
I'm going to be careful not to touch the eye
just going to come in laterally there a little more, I'll just check the eyelash measurement,
lovely thank you
okay just pop your glasses back on for me, I just want to double check this length to
bend measurement, thank you
and on the left head thank you
okay I'm just going to have a little feel behind the ears
just to ensure that the isn't too much wear, that's the mastoid process thank you, good
with the glasses on I'm just going to check the pantoscopic tilt
and the pantoscopic tilt on the left side
excellent just lower the head, let's have a little feel of the glasses just to ensure
that they're not
sliding down, excellent, record those and then I'll get the varifocals, sorry the bifocals
made into those
so that's all the measurements give me two weeks we'll give you a call when the glasses
have arrived back thank you
