Lensmeter

Lensmeter

.

The parameters used by a lensmeter is derived from the prescriptions written by an ophthalmologist or optometrist, being sphere, cylinder, axis, add, and in some cases, prism. The lensmeter is also used to check the accuracy of progressive lenses, and is capable of marking the lens center and various other measurements critical to proper performance of the lens.
