4.00 Credits
This course focuses on the rules of transposition, including transposition of lens powers. Students learn to apply mathematic functions, solving for binocular and monocular P.D.s, near-vision prescriptions and bifocal segment height and inset. The concepts of plus and minus cylinder prescription powers are discussed, and defi nitions and determinations of lens powers from given base curves, cross curves and inside curves are taught. (0884-180) Class 4, Credit 3 (F)
-
4.00 Credits
Students learn how to select and determine appropriate base curves, cross curves and inside curves of given lens powers. Students learn mathematical formulas used in determining effective diameter, smallest lens blank and prism. They also learn to apply mathematic functions related to vertometer power readings, heat treat times and lens gauge readings. (0884-180, 0827-111) Class 4, Credit 3 (W)
-
4.00 Credits
Teaches students the meaning of various optical terms found on prescription forms. Students learn what information should be on a complete prescription and how to analyze single-vision and multifocal prescriptions for laboratory processing. Class 4, Credit 3 (F)
-
5.00 Credits
Teaches students how to design lens systems based on specifi c optical factors such as frame selection, lens material, lens thickness, index of refraction, size of lens, lens power, blank manufacturer and cosmetic appeal. Students learn trade names of lenses, percentages of lens transmission, multifocal segment placement, and occupational and recreational lens forms. (0827-111, 112) Class 5, Credit 3 (S)
-
5.00 Credits
Emphasizes comprehension, spelling and application of terminology related to the optical profession, including the laboratory environment, function and disorders of the eye, and optics/lens characteristics. Class 5, Credit 3 (F, W, S)
-
5.00 Credits
Emphasizes the comprehension, spelling and application of terminology related to the vertometer, lensometer, pattern maker, heat treat units, and ceramic and diamond-head beveling wheels. (0827-161) Class 5, Credit 3 ( F, W, S)
-
6.00 Credits
Teaches students basic techniques of using the vertometer to analyze singlevision lenses, layout marker, heat treat units, and pattern maker, automatic edging machines and development of hand-beveling skills. (0885-200 or 0885-201) Class 1, Lab 6, Credit 4 (S)
-
6.00 Credits
Teaches students the theory and techniques of centering, power verifi cation and spotting of single-vision and selected multifocal lenses. Students are taught the mechanics of lens centration using layout markers and lens edging using a variety of edging systems. The concepts and techniques of veebeveling, rimless bevels, and hide-a-bevel are emphasized. (0827-200) Class 1, Lab 6, Credit 4 (S)
-
9.00 Credits
Emphasis is on individual fabrication of given prescriptions. Students are given a variety of single-vision and multifocal prescriptions to be completed during the quarter. Finished prescriptions are evaluated using ANSI standards. (0827-201) Class 9, Credit 5 (S)
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides a general introduction to the nature of light. Course emphasis is on the properties of light; interaction of light in various materials; how laser light is generated, controlled and detected and the role of light in human vision. (0885-200 or 0885-201) Class 3, Credit 3 (F)
