Fitting Instructions for Progressive Lenses
1 2 3 4 5
Frame Fitting
1. Before taking any measurements, make sure the patient is sitting straight, without any back support. 2. Adjust the frame to correctly fit the patient. 3. Ensure a pantascopic tilt of 9 -12. 4. 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. 1. Whenever possible, use a pupilometer for measuring pupil distance, as this provides the most accurate results. 2. If a pupilometer is not available: a. Position yourself at the patients eye level, making sure he or she is looking directly into your eyes. b. Mark the pupil center on the demo lens in the frame. c. 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. 1. Position yourself at the patients eye level. 2. Mark the pupil center on the demo lens in the frame.
Cut-Out Confirmation
1. Check both the right and left lenses. 2. Align the pupil center marking over the cross on the centration chart. 3. Make sure the frame shape falls within the selected lens diameter.
Lens Verification
1. If lenses are not marked, restore the markings with a marker. 2. Fit the frame with the glazed lenses on the patient and verify that the fitting cross is aligned with the pupil center.
The Progressive Identifier At A Glance

The 2002 edition of the Progressive Identifier is the most up-to-date source of lens information available for ophthalmic professionals who want to identify and compare progressive addition lenses (PALs) currently available in the United States and Canada, including lenses that have been discontinued within the past five years.
Location, location, location

In order to identify progressive lenses currently being worn, or to compare them to others available from a variety of manufacturers, doctors and dispensers must be able to locate four critical product identifiers. The Progressive Identifier illustrates the four key identifiers for each lens: The location of the Fitting Cross and its distance from the 180 line; Any unique Engraved Symbols that may be displayed on the 180 line (the standard is two circles); The location of the Add Power on the lens, which may appear abbreviated (25 indicates a +2.50 add, for example); The Identifying Symbol or company logo that on most lenses appears on the right side just beneath the 180 line enlarged for fast and easy recognition. (In selected lenses the symbol may appear on the left side. This is indicated on the lens diagram.) In addition, each lens manufacturers recommended minimum fitting height is included for easy comparison.
Three steps to success

With the information contained in the Progressive Identifier, doctors and retailers can quickly identify any lens currently being worn (including those recently discontinued), and confidently select the best new lens for their patients needs. Step One: Most modern PALs are marked by laser engravings (some older lenses may have fluorescent marks) that become easily visible when viewed under an intense light against a dark background. Look for these engraved symbols and refer to the Index on Page 2 for the location of the full lens description. Step Two: Determine the patients old Rx. If this is information is not in your records, read the prescription off the lens. Step Three: Compare to the new Rx and assess any changes that might suggest a change in lens design or material. Remember to consider your patients lifestyle, work habits, hobbies, and frame choice when choosing the appropriate lens. For fitting tips and techniques, refer to the Perspective on Lenses, published by the OLA. Your OLA member laboratory will be happy to provide information on this and other products published by the OLA. Or contact the OLA directly at 800-477-5652.
How to Verify the PD & Height of Progressives

Center the frame over the pyramid lines, with The Fitting Cross lined up with the top horizontal line, marked O. This is the 180 line as shown on the lens diagrams in the Progressive Identifier. With the frame in this position, determine the monocular PD for each lens by reading the number on the horizontal line directly underneath the 180 line. With the Fitting Cross positioned on the top line, the fitting height of each lens can be determined by reading the number on the line where the bottom of the lens rests.
