with lens cloth. It should be cleaned every short time. Be sure to move lens base up while the

protecting lens is in cleaning.

4.3 Operation

4.3.1 Lens settings

1、To clarify the left side and right side of lens：

 No PD measurement, the sliding nose pad frame should be move to left side. L/ R keys

will be workable.

 In PD measuring, the sliding nose pad frame will direct the left or right side and it will

measure out the PD of left or right while the L/ R keys are not workable.

 If no need for choosing left or right side, there will be S showed on the right up corner of

measurement interface.

2、Lens settings

To put the lens on the lens base, and the convexity upward.

Figure 4.1 to put the measured lens

3、Lens fixing

To put the lens fixing frame on lens.

4.3.2 Lens measurement

17
1、Single vision lens measurement

(1) to focus the drone on the center

To move lens to make the drone(十 ) to the center. When the distance between the drone and

center less than 0.5△，the shape of the drone will be as a cross (十)；When the drone at the very

place at center, the shape of the drone will be a thicker cross（十）. There are two ways to confirm the

measured data:

A：to press the memory key and the data will be saved. When data be saved, the direction type of

astigmatism +/- can be changed. To press clear key, then it will restart the measurement.

B：automatical memory settings, the data will be saved automatically according to the settings,

then there is no need to press memory key anymore, and the direction type of astigmatism +/- can be

changed. To press clear key, then it will restart the measurement.

2、measurement to lens with frame

Normal measurement

（1）to press L/ R key to move the drone (十) to the center. When the distance between the two

less than 0.5△, the shape of the drone will be as a cross(十)；When the drone is just at the very point

of center, the shape will be a thicker cross (十). To press memory key (or automatical memory set

before) , the measured data will be saved.

（2）to press L/ R key to measure the other lens, and repeat action(1).

19
 Figure 4.4 measurement of finished lens and save the data of left side

PD measurement: (no such function in Model A) The change of left or right side should be done by

the move of sliding nose pad frame.

（3）to rotate the lens table knob to move the lens table till touch the bottom of lens frame, and

move sliding nose pad frame to the center of lens frame. To move the lens to make the drone(十 )

close to the center,when the distance between the two less than 0.5△, the shape of the drone will be

as a cross(十)；When the drone is just at the very point of center, the shape will be a thicker cross

(十). To press memory key (or automatical memory set before) , the measured data will be saved.

（4）to check the other lens, to move the sliding nose pad frame along with the lens frame. Action

as (1).

3、measurement of high index lens：

This machine is manufactured with standard green light source. There is no need to set the Abbe

number when measure the high index lens. The measured data showed on the screen will be the

correct one.

5、Measurement of double vision lens：

There are two keys used in this measurement, a. Memory; b.Mode

(1) To put the far vision part(far vision range) of lens on the lens base.

Figure 4.8 measurement of far vision range and measured data saving

(2) Measurement of far vision degree

When the shape of the drone as (十)or (十), to press the Memory key, then the measured data of

far vision degree will be confirmed.

22
 Lens Blocker Operation Manual

（3）ADD of double vision lens

To move the lens toward yourself till the near vision part(near vision range) of the lens on the lens

base. To press Mode, there will be AD1 on the screen. When the notice showed under the drone as

“close to the center”(there is no need to focus the center perfectly), to press the Memory , then the

measured data of near vision part will be confirmed. And the measurement finished.

Figure 4.9 to save the measured data of near vision range

6、Measurement of progressive lens (PPL)

To press the lens mode exchange key to enter into the PPL measuring mode. During this

measurement, the Memory key should be used. There are two PPL measurement: non-edgered lens

and lens with frame.

23
Figure 4.10 diagram of progressive lens

●Measurement of non-edgered lens

To mark the lens with the special eyes ports supplied by manufacturer and make the lens

convexity upward. In the near vision range, to keep the horizontal reference line in horizontal and

lock the lens. To measure the far vision range first, and to move the lens up and down and from left

to right to make the drone just on the center of the cross line. When the drone as the thicker cross

(十), and to press the Memory key, the data of far vision range be confirmed. Then to move lens till

the near eyes ports on the lens base, there will be ADD and measured data showed on screen, just to

press Memory to save it.

Figure 4.11 center focusing of far vision range

24
 Lens Blocker Operation Manual

Figure 4.12 the biggest data, ADD of near vision range

● measurement of lens with frame

There is no marks for range on lens when measure with the progressive screen. So be careful during

the operation.

（1）to put the lens with frame well

（2）to measure the parameter of the far vision range. The center of far vision range is close to the

center of the frame. The measuring way is same as that of item 6 above.

（3）then to measure the parameter in near vision range.

To move the lens with frame by moving the knob and dam-board outward. The optical center of

near vision range is close to the center of frame, to find the optical center of near vision range by

moving it from left to right. Watching the ADD on the screen, to press the Memory key when it

shows the maximum.

7、The Prism Lens measurement

25
 The prism lens measurement

(1) mark the center of the pupil: ask the customer to look away with glasses, and mark the

center of the pupil on each lens.

Note: the diameter of the mark should be less than 1mm. If the mark is too large, it will interfere

with the measurement.

(2)Determine left and right lenses: press the left and right keys to determine the left or right lenses.

(3)Select the prism representation type

Rectangular coordinate system (X-Y)：I 5.00cm/m

Polar coordinates system(P-B)：1.00cm/m

D 0.03cm/m 0°

(4)Place the lens

Place the lens on the lens holder as shown. Convexity side up.

(5)Fix lens on holder

(6)Place an eye mark on the center of the lens holder (unnecessary to point to the center).

(7)Press the memory key. (note: if the data was wrong, indicate that the mark is just on the

measuring light path, and slightly move the lens to get the measured data).

8、Optical center Marking

Determine the optical center and horizontal direction of the lens to fit into the frame.

(1)Moving the lens make the target to align with the center intersection line, and the shape of

the target changes from (+) to (十).Move the lens supporter so it can near the bottom of the frame.

(2)Set axis value as prescription: through the display of the axis (A XIS), rotate the lens until

the value on the prescription appears. If (十) changes to (十)], the center needs to be realigned.

26
 Lens Blocker Operation Manual

(3)Set the prescription value of lens with prism degree: the prism's selection in the menu

enables the prism display to allocate mirror prescription in the same way. When rectangular

coordinates are selected, the letters "I" are displayed on the screen to indicate the base is inward, "O"

means the base is outward, "u" means the base is upward, and "D" means the base is downward.

Place the pending lens on the lens holder. Rotate properly. Make the prism base the same direction as

the prescription.

(4)Lens marking: rotate the dot knob to mark three points on the lens that are level with the lens

platform. Remove the lens, lift the stationary holder of the lens until you hear a "click" and remove

the lens. Don't touch the mark, otherwise the mark will be erased. The mark is not clear.

9、Dioptric profile measurement

This figure can be used to judge the far and near area of the progressive lens. When the color of the

27
figure below is consistent with the color of the left figure, it indicates that the direction of the lens

measurement is correct when the progressive sheet is measured. Conversely, turn the lens 180

direction and measure again
