Trial Lens Case ‫حقيبة العدسات التجريبية‬

It is a case that contains a set of lenses that are used by trial and error in
order to correct refractive errors. These lenses are different in type and
power.
The case is divided into three groups of examination lenses: -

1) Concave spherical lenses (negative): which are used in the treatment of
myopia (nearsightedness).
2) Convex spherical lenses (positive): which are used in the treatment of
hypermetropia (farsightedness) and presbyopia.
3) Negative and positive cylindrical lenses: which are used to treat
astigmatism, and differ from the other by the presence of two red lines on
both ends of the lens to determine the axis of the lens.

1) Prism lens: prismatic lenses are used in some cases of squint, which leads
to diplopia, and the base of the prismatic lens is thicker than the apex.
The prismatic lens only shifts the image and does not enlarge or smaller it,
unless the eyeglass lens contains power in addition to the prismatic power.
The deflection of a ray as it passes through a prism depends on:
 Apex angle
 The angle of incidence of the ray on the prism
 Refractive index of the material
 The wavelength of the beam
2) Jackson cross-cylinder lens: It is a type of special cylindrical lens, also

called Jackson lens. It consists of two cylindrical lenses of different in sign,
equal in power and orthogonal. It is used to check for astigmatism and to
adjust the degree and axis of the cylindrical lens.

3) Maddox rod lens

It is a glass lens consisting of parallel cylindrical lines that have several
colors, including red, green and transparent, it used to subjectively detect
and measure a latent, manifest, horizontal or vertical heterophoria for near
and distance.
The purpose of the cylindrical lines is that they convert the point light source
into a bright line, and through the direction of the cylinders we can obtain a
horizontal or vertical bright line to evaluate the squint on both axes.

4) Pinhole lens
It is a black, opaque circular disc, in its center there is a hole ranging in
diameter (1-2 mm) to reduce the amount of peripheral light entering the eye,
and it is used to find out the cause of poor vision, so that the vision improves
with it, which means that the cause is a refractive error, and if the vision
does not improve with it, it means that the cause is an organic eye disease.
5) Stenopaic slit lens

It is a black circular disc containing a linear slit of width (0.50-1.00 mm) and
length (15 mm), to allow light to pass through. It is used to determine
astigmatism by rotating it (horizontal and vertical) after placing spherical
test lenses, and asking the patient in which direction the vision is clearer.
6) Occlude lens
It is a black circular disk and is used as a covering for the eye when
examining the other eye

7) Red/Green filter lens

They are red and green colored lenses and have no optical power. They are
used in binocular vision tests. They are also used to check over-correction
and under-correction of refractive error.
The patient is asked to make a comparison of the recognition through the

filter to note the clear of the FRIEND letters on the test chart.
If the patient says:
 There is no clear difference between the two, it indicates that the

correction is optimal.
 When the vision is clearer in red, it means he has nearsightedness and a
negative lens can be added until equality is achieved.
 When the vision is clearer in green, it means he has farsightedness and a
positive lens can be added until equality is achieved.
