6.5 Measurement of Progressive Lens

(1) This is the setting of the progressive lens.

Set AUTO PROG. and PROG. MEASURE on the setup screen before measurement as
necessary.

AUTO PROG.
ON Auto detection of progressive lens
OFF No auto detection of progressive lens
PROG. MEASURE
F/N.AT Auto detection of far and near points
NOTE
F.AT Auto detection of far point
N.AT Auto detection of near point
MANU Manual detection of far and near points

(2) The progressive lens measurement screen is displayed by

pressing switch.

In case that AUTO PROG is set as ON, the lens is

automatically judged whether the lens is a progressive
lens or not according to the following procedure.

Align the progressive zone of the lens with the center of

the lens stand.
If the lens is detected as a progressive lens, the screen
switches to the progressive lens measurement screen
automatically. If the lens is not detected as a
progressive lens, the screen does not switch to the
progressive lens measurement screen.

When the ADD value is small (less than 1D) or the progressive zone of the
lens is not set on the lens stand, the auto detection may not be performed. In
this case, move the lens up and down, and right and left slowly.

If the lens of the framed lens is small, its ADD value is small (less than 1D), or
the lens is dirty or has some scratches, the far and near points cannot be
detected automatically. In this case, take a measurement manually.

 (3) Measuring procedure of progressive lens (when measuring right lens by selecting
PROG. MEASUREN.AT)
Detection of progressive zone
Find the progressive zone by moving the lens up and down, and right and left slowly.
Once the progressive zone is found, the cross cursor (the screen below) appears.
Press the Memory/ Add switch in case that the progressive zone cannot be
detected because ADD value is small etc. It switches to the measurement screen
NOTE of the far point.

Measurement of far point

Move the lens toward the device slowly so that the center
of the alignment mark overlaps with the cross cursor.

As shown on the screen in the lower right-hand corner,

achieve alignment so that the cross cursor moves to the
Cross cursor
lower center. Then, the cross cursor is fixed by pressing
the Memory/ Add switch.
At this time, the measurement value of the far point
is stored.
The far point is detected and stored automatically
in case of setting PROG. MEASURE as
F/N.AT or F.AT on the setup screen.
Measurement of near point Far point
Take a measurement of near point.
As shown on the right, move the lens to the near side
(near point) slowly according to the guide arrow
indicated on the top of the measurement area.
By moving the lens as described above, the cross
cursor (blue) moves upward as shown on the right.
If it goes out of the progressive zone, the cross cursor
moves to right or left.

In this case, move the lens to the near side after

Guide arrow
moving the cross cursor back to the progressive zone by moving the
lens right or left.
As it gets closer to the near point, the cross cursor
starts blinking. Then, perform alignment carefully.
Once the near point is detected, the cursor is fixed
and its ADD value (AD1) is stored in memory.

By pressing the Memory/ ADD switch after

measuring AD1, the second ADD value (AD2)
can be stored at the arbitrary position.
The progressive lens measurement screen is displayed again by pressing after
switching to the left lens. Take a measurement of left lens again in the same manner.
In case of setting AUTO R/L as ON on the setup screen, it is switched to
the other lens by removing the lens which has already finished
measurements after storing ADD measurement value of one lens.

 (4) Display of ADD value and assessment graph, and manual
operation (when PROG. MEASURE: MANUAL is selected)

The graph is displayed on the progressive lens measurement screen when setting PROG.
GRAPH as ON on the setup screen.
Depending on type of the lens, it may be difficult to detect far point or near point
automatically even though normally they are detected automatically. In this case, take a
measurement manually by reference to the ADD value and assessment graph.

In case of measuring the far point manually, perform an alignment in the same manner
with the automatic judgment.
For the measurement of near point, press the Memory/ Add switch at where the ADD value
is the highest while the alignment cursor stays in the center.
The near point is where the assessment line moves closer to the Y coordinate. Therefore,
carry out alignment by reference to the position of the graph and blinking of the cross cursor.

Some wrappings of the progressive lenses include the prescribed degree and another value.
That is because the design basis is different between the progressive lens and regular
lensmeter.
NOTE In this case, please compare and confirm the measurement values of the lens meter with
the Confirmation degree or Check degree etc. not with the prescribed degree.
Please contact the distributors for more information.
