In order to adapt to the surrounding environment, man gathers information through various channels.

External data is obtained visually. Thus, vision (along with brain activity) has a
greater importance in human life ensuring adaptation to the environment, identifying shapes and colors,

the retina, optic nerve, and cerebral cortex.
Ocular conditions have concerned people since ancient times (documents such as: Hammurabi

The need for the development of a new qualification in the field of medical optics arises from
the extremely high percentage of approximately 90% of the population (EU statistics) that requires a check

and only 10% which require specialized medical examination (cataract, glaucoma, degeneration

Reading is an important factor in the appearance of eye disorders, especially in the case of myopia.
The achievements of the 21st century regarding the correction, protection, and aesthetics of vision (of the eye) have

Due to important innovations arising from the specific nature of activities - new modern technologies, thus:
modification of the viewing plan, near-medium-distance, repeatedly, with increased frequency --- lens

easy maintenance, resistance --- hydro/oil-repellent/static/durable, contact lenses with
high mechanical/dioptric/aesthetic performance.
I chose this project theme based on the above considerations but also from
the concrete fact: being a graduate of the Faculty of Automatic Control and Computers for many years, I have numerous

colleagues who, working as programmers, have developed myopia over time. Observing cases and studying
specialized literature has shown that genetic inheritance is always a factor in health
ours but it is the only one we cannot influence. It represents only the predisposition or
the potential to experience certain problems or conditions. Our life and way of living
decide in the end whether we will have a certain problem or not.
In carrying out this project, I aimed for both the appropriate completion of the school's studies of
optometry but also to contribute to the resolution (prevention, slowing down, correction) in accordance with the latest

news of science and technology, the refractive defect: MYOPIA.

CHAPTER 1. THE VISUAL ANALYZER

1.1. The components of the human eye.

Analyzers are systems of the human organism that have the role of receiving, conducting and
transforms specific sensations the primary excitations from the external environment (light, in particular) or internal.

They contribute to the integration of it into the environment and to the coordination of its functions. The analyzers
they are morphological-functional systems composed of three segments, as follows:
1. peripheral, perceives through specific receptors, the changes in the external and internal environment,
what acts on the body - the eye;
2. intermediary (of conduction), conducts nerve impulses in the cortical areas
corresponding - optic nerve;
3. The central segment analyzes and synthesizes nerve impulses determining
the formation of specific visual sensation, determining the appropriate reaction - cortex.

Thus, inside the eye (the peripheral segment), the ray of light is projected onto
retina that transforms it into nerve impulse. It is noteworthy that only electromagnetic radiation with
the wavelength between 375 and 760 nm (the eighth part of electromagnetic radiation) is detected
(fig. 1). It is important to know, in the technique of making lenses, that other wavelengths range -
Whether or not they are sensitive - can negatively affect elements of the eye such as the lens (UVA, UVB), retina.

(blue light), etc.


The eye (fig. 2) has the shape of a sphere and is located in the eye socket. Despite its size
the eye is a complex organ: it perceives shapes, movements, terrains, colors, and differences in
luminosity. Light enters through the front part of the eye through a transparent membrane
called the cornea, surrounded by an area called the white of the eye or sclera. Then we find a
membrane, with a variable diameter, called iris, pierced in the center and colored differently from one person to another

The opening (through which light passes) is called the pupil, it is black in color and enlarges -
it reduces the diameter depending on the intensity of the light radiation. This adaptive reflex protects
the tissues of the eye. Light then enters the lens, a variable biconvex lens that has the role of
focusing of this retina (the actual receptor), after it first traverses a humor
watery called vitreous body. After transforming light excitation into nerve impulse (at the level of
the retina), this is transmitted to the brain (central segment) via the optic nerve (segment
intermediary) forming the visual sensation. In the composition of the eye (for the purpose of protection) we find

the eyelids and eyelashes. A thin transparent membrane, called conjunctiva, lines the interior
eyelids and a part of the sclera. Similarly, mucous glands, located under the eyelids, produce in

The peripheral segment consists of the eyeball (fig. 3) and its annexes.

in accommodation) and the ciliary processes (secrete the aqueous humor).

the function, cones require stronger light, while rods respond to lower light

1.2. Physiology of the eye

The study of ocular refraction is based on understanding the general principles of physics that govern
optics, the science of light and its interaction with matter. Light is a radiation
electromagnetism that has a dual wave-particle nature. Quantum mechanics has unified the two
aspects of light in a single theory. Thus, light can be studied:
be it the physical optical wave
be it the geometric optical ray
be it the quantum optical particle
Optical optics involves approaching light as both a wave and a ray, as well as studying its propagation.
in ocular environments.
The visual analyzer provides spatial orientation through the perception of rays emitted by a
light source or reflected by objects. The sensation of light is given by a rather narrow area of
electromagnetic spectrum (fig. 19). | As physical phenomena, more important, produced in operation
in the human eye we can distinguish

Diffraction. The phenomena of diffraction generally refer to wave phenomena that occur at
the propagation of light in media with sufficiently small inhomogeneities such that the laws of geometric optics
are no longer respected. Diffraction can also be defined as the phenomenon of light 'bending' around
obstacles when their dimensions are comparable to the wavelength of the radiation
incident. If light passes through a narrow opening, the rays spread out as if the opening were a
new light source. If a screen is placed beyond the opening to intercept the rays, it will
notice that they will undergo the phenomenon of diffraction and will form a central image on the screen with

less intense secondary images on the sides of the central image. (fig. 17).
Interference. The phenomenon of interaction between rays of light. (fig. 18).
Refraction. The difference in the speed at which light propagates in various transparent media leads to
the change of the angle of propagation direction of it. (fig. 19)
From the perspective of this work, refraction can be considered one of the most
important phenomena. Understanding it helps in understanding the optical behavior of
the crystalline of the lenses and thus the corrections of refractive errors.
The eye is a dynamic optical system, with a refractive power of approximately 64D. 70% of this
the value is due to the air-cornea interface and 30% to the lens. The analysis of the eye is reduced to
studying the four main dioptric surfaces we find:
the anterior surface of the cornea with a dioptric power of about 48.83D,
The posterior surface of the cornea has a dioptric power of -5.88D and a radius of 6.8 mm.

12
The anterior surface of the lens has a radius of curvature of 10mm. The refractive index of
the refractive index is 1.41,
The posterior surface of the lens has a curvature radius of 6mm.
The total refractive power of the cornea is 44.305D and that of the unaccommodated lens is
19.11D
The thickness of the cornea is 500 microns and that of the lens is 3.6 mm.
The standard eye is hyperopic with +1D, has a total refractive power of 58.64D and a
axial length of 24mm.
It is observed that most of the refraction process occurs in the cornea, at
the air interface. The remaining refraction necessary, in relation to the distance at which the object is located, occurs in

This is achieved through the process of accommodation of the lens.

Under the action of light excitation at the level of the retina, anatomical and physicochemical changes occur.

Anatomical modifications. They consist of a displacement of the pigment granules (from the epithelium

pigment) to the visual cells, photoreceptors (the cells with cones and rods).
Physical-chemical changes consist of the decomposition and reconstitution of substances.
Photochimes present in visual cells. This substance is different for cones and rods;
for cones, the visual substance is iodopsin (retinal violet) discovered by Studnitz in 1936,
for stick cells, the visual pigment esterodopsin (retinal purple), discovered by Boll in 1876.
Under the action of light, rhodopsin, contained in the rods, decomposes into a substance.

In darkness, at the level of the retina, there is a permanent electric charge, the deepest layers

electrooculogram (EOG), which represents the function of the pigment epithelium and the cones and
of the bastons.
The sensory components of the visual function are represented by:
1. The sensation of light;

3. The sensation of color;
4. Binocular vision.
Important from the perspective of eye physiology, we mention:
Adaptation

the environment. Thanks to this, the eye can distinguish different shades, both in bright light and in
semiobscurity. The increase in sensitivity is not uniform in cones and rods. Adaptation is more
fast in the central fovea, where most cones are located, and slower at the periphery of the retina, where
we exclusively encounter rods. The increase in retinal and lens pigmentation under the effect of absorption
ultraviolet rays, in old age, reduce adaptation.
Different types of vision. (peripheral, binocular-spatial, color):

maximum near the posterior pole of the eye, which corresponds to the macula: in fact, this
mainly contains cones. Everything that is perceived through peripheral vision constitutes
visual field.
· The vision of reliefs and distances, or stereoscopic vision, is possible due to
the integration by the brain of two slightly different images provided by each eye.
· The perception of colors, dominated by cones, is more intense in the central area of the retina.

The complex visual cortex V3 where the motor fibers are formed that project
subcortical. They play an important role in stereoscopic vision (spatial orientation, shape perception,
the image of the body, movement in depth and the localization of images.

1.3. Specific refractive errors of the human eye


For understanding this chapter as well as important for the whole and the purpose of this
we introduce the concepts:
oOCHI EMETROP - (from Greek “emetros”=proportioned and “ops”=sight), the image
a point situated at infinity is formed on the retina of the eye when in an unaccommodated state. In the case of

in the emmetropic eye, the retina is the optical conjugate of infinity and is therefore located in the plane

focal image of the optical system of the eye. The image of distant objects is
It forms on the retina, inverted. The emmetropic eye sees objects clearly without accommodating.

(fig. 23).
oOCHI AMETROP. - any eye that is not emmetropic is called ametropic (from Greek
"ametros"=disproportionate and "ops"=sight) because it presents a refraction anomaly
characterized by the fact that the image of an object located at a distance is not formed on
its retina, in an unaccommodated state (in a resting, static state), but in front or behind
I retained. If the image forms behind the eye, it is called hyperopia, if
the image forms in front, we call it 'miop', if the image forms differently depending on the function

From the meridian, the eye is called astigmat.


Regardless of the type of ametropia, three causes can be claimed:
1. The length of the anteroposterior axis, which is either too short (hyperopia) or too long
lung (myopia) called axial ametropias. (spherical).
2. The dimensions of the corneal or crystalline curvature radii are abnormal in relation to
the other structures are called curvature metropes. (spherical)
3. The value of the refractive index of one of the refracting media is too strong or
too weak named index ametropias. (aspherical)
Ametropias can be either accidental as a result of the displacement of the lens in an emmetropic eye or
various corneal aggressions.

16
HYPERMETROPY
Farsightedness (fig. 24) is a refractive error in which parallel rays coming from infinity
focalizes at a point located behind the retina. It is the most common refractive disorder.
I share in:
1. Mice: up to 3 diopters
2. Glasses: from 3 to diopters
3. Mari: over 6 diopters
Depending on the causes we have:

1. Axial hyperopia: the anteroposterior axis is smaller.


2. Hyperopia of index: the refractive index of the refracting media is lower than
normal.
3. Curvature hyperopia: reduced curvature of refracting surfaces.
In a state of accommodative rest, the hypermetrope does not see well either at a distance or up close. In order to -

and to correct the sight defect, he constantly uses accommodation. These people often have
often have trouble focusing on close images and cannot perform activities such as reading or
the sewing.
The correction of hyperopia is done by 'bringing the focus forward' using convex lenses.
The lens with the highest dioptric value is prescribed that allows for maximum acuity at a distance of
5m.

Myopia
Myopia (fig. 25) is a refractive error in which the rays of light entering the eye focus in
the retina. The myope does not see well at a distance, but sees well up close, having the tendency to bring things closer.

the objects or eye books.


As mentioned, it can be classified based on causes:
Axial myopia: the axial length of the eyeball is shorter than normal.
2. Curvature myopia: a more pronounced curvature of the cornea.
3. Index myopia: the transient myopia produced by the increase in the lens index from
various causes.
They can be classified by dioptric value into:
Small: up to 3 diopters.
2. Medium: between 3 and 6 diopters.
3. Mari: between 6 and 9 diopters.
4. Forces: over 9 diopters.

17
Depending on certain evolutionary stages, myopia can also be:
1. Benign myopia: appears around the age of 6 (school myopia). It has a progression
progressive until around the age of 20, when it stabilizes, not exceeding 6 diopters. Not
it involves ocular complications.
2. Malignant myopia: it is most often present from birth; it is congenital,
genetics. Progressively evolves with values of -20, -40 diopters. The eyeball has lesions.
my eye injuries, vision being permanently affected. The anteroposterior axis is
the sclera thins unevenly (especially near the optic nerve head). There appear
zone of scleral denudation, due to choroidal retraction (myopic cone). Visibility was added.
increased choroidal vessels, chorioretinal degenerations of the vitreous, hemorrhages at
the level of the macula. As the lesions of the fundus progress, visual acuity
step.
Myopia is corrected by bringing the image from the front back onto the retina. This is done with a diverging lens.

The weakest, concave, spherical lens that provides good visual acuity at a distance of 5m is preferred.
the correction with contact lenses, especially for large or malignant ones, as it diminishes the effect of
excessive reduction of the size of the image focused on the retina, thus improving visual acuity.

ASTIGMATISM
Astigmatism (fig. 26) is an aspheric refractive error in which the principal focus of the rays
The incident is not made up of a single point, but of a series of points – the focus becomes linear.
The astigmatic eye has one meridian of minimum refractive power and one meridian of power
maximum refractive, we call the main meridians. Between these meridians, the refractive power varies
between the maximum and minimum limits.

REGULAR ASTIGMATISM:
Each meridian has the same refractive power at every point along it.
The transition from the refraction of one meridian to the refraction of the neighboring one is gradual.

The meridian with the highest refractive power and the one with the lowest refractive power
are perpendicular to each other and are called main meridians.
Under normal conditions, the vertical meridian is slightly curved due to the flattening of the eye by
upper eyelid. This meridian has a myopic refraction of up to -0.75dpt, determining
physiological astigmatism.
After the refraction of the principal meridians, we encounter:

Simple astigmatism: one meridian is emmetropic and the other is ametropic.

18
Astigmatism composed: both meridians are myopic or hyperopic but of degree
different.
Mixed astigmatism: one principal meridian is myopic while the other is hyperopic.

If the vertical principal meridian is more refringent than the horizontal one, we have astigmatism.
regulates directly (according to physiological astigmatism), and conversely we have against astigmatism
indirect regulation. By correction with cylindrical lenses, the difference in refraction between them is cancelled out

two meridians.
Irregular astigmatism can be caused by corneal conditions (infiltrates, degenerations,
scars). There can be refractive differences not only between meridians but also between points of the same one.
Meridian. The correction is done surgically or with contact lenses.

NEAR VISION, ACCOMMODATION and PRESBYOPIA


(in Greek "presbutes" = old eyes)

Presbyopia (fig. 27) is the phenomenon of reduced accommodation power of the eye due to
aging. One of the most commonly given explanations refers to the progressive loss of
of the elasticity of the crystal with aging, to which was added, as an aggravating factor, loss.
the contracting and relaxing powers of the ciliary muscles (muscles that control the degree of convergence
of the crystal.
It is corrected by compensating for the insufficient accommodation amplitude of the eye for vision.
almost with an added positive power.

2.2. Case study

A few theoretical considerations essential for the optometric consultation are outlined below. These
will be tailored to the case in question.
The optometric examination will include at least the following stages:

Reasons for the presentation to the office.

- Identificarea subiectului, adresa, vârsta, sex, ocupaţie.


Data about health, physical and mental appearance.
The optical history (anamnesis) of the case.
Preliminary visual inspection.
At this stage, the decision is made whether the subject requires a medical ophthalmological consultation or a

optometric consultation.

In the first case, he will be appropriately referred possibly to a known doctor.


By collaborating with this, the premise is created for the corrective glasses to be executed/
delivered/sold within the own office.
In the second case, the consultation continues with:
- Optometric tests to determine the nature and details of the refractive error.
Objective tests
Subjective tests.
The type and value of the refractive defect is established.
The main data of this is recorded in the consultation notebook.

from an optometric, functional, qualitative, aesthetic point of view.
The case history represents the collection of information related to physical characteristics,
psychic, health states, the environment in which the subject lives, the visual function, the visual needs in
the connection with his/her activities. This type of analysis consists of the current personal visual history and

Current and previous personal visual history:
Informaţii generale: data consultaţiei, datele de identificare ale subiectului.
The subject's complaints: the reason for the visit to the optometry office.

A truly personal visual story.

For the present subject, we have the data:


On October 9, 2015, Mr. Hagiu Victor presented himself at the optometry office.
28 years old, residing in Iaşi, Bucium Street, number 9, glasses wearer, myopic.
The patient is a programmer with a work schedule of 9-18, meaning 8 effective hours in front of a
17" LCD monitor. This eyewear wearer came to the optometric office for an examination.
as a routine, complaining of blurred vision at a distance, with fatigue, eye irritation, especially when working
extended in front of the computer's LCD monitor. This visual discomfort causes him a
low concentration capacity both during and after working hours, headaches and
ocular discomfort when working up close and increasingly unclear vision, especially at a distance.
The first signs appeared 2 years ago, when following a specialized eye examination, he
it has been established that he has no eye conditions, just a slight nearsightedness. As a result, he has also purchased the first

glasses. Visual problems have intensified in recent months against the background of increased time spent in
the face of the monitor. In the last month, visual discomfort has increased and as a result, he/she presented at the office.

In personal but also family visual history, there are no cases of diabetes, strabismus, or myopia.
hypertension or color blindness.
The details of the last ophthalmological prescription were requested. Not having these details, it was moved to
the measurement and examination of the worn glasses.

The following were observed:

The glasses frame is metallic with a complete ring, narrow, with flexible jointed arms.
worn out pads.

Plastic lenses with hardening and anti-reflective coating, slightly scratched, not properly maintained.

- Dioptrii: OD: SF: -0.50

OS: SF: -0.25.

D = 61mm. (distanţa între centrele optice al lentilelor)

27
The physical and psychological appearance falls within normal patterns, has no tics,
motor deficiencies, has natural movements, speaks normally, but has an active temperament
extroverted.

From a visual needs perspective, it is found that the subject, in order to


the profession exercises but also current activities require appropriate control for a good view at
distance, but also of the work they are engaged in, in conditions of natural light combined with the
artificial.

From the history of the case, we note the following: the subject does not suffer from chronic diseases (diabetes,

hypertension, nephropathies, etc.), does not suffer from infectious diseases and allergies. In the last year
The subject observed a decrease in visual acuity (including while wearing glasses), especially
evening as well as pronounced visual fatigue when working at the computer's LCD monitor.

During the preliminary visual inspection, the following aspects are observed:

The structure and mobility of the face are within normal limits, without asymmetries, configuration and movement.
The eyebrows are normal, the skin of the eyelids does not have a pathological appearance, without conjunctivitis.

edema, tumors, infections, etc;


- the tear apparatus has no pathological changes, tear film with normal appearance;
- the examination of the orbit does not reveal inflammation and deformities of the eyelids, the conjunctiva is not

congested or edematous, the eyeballs do not rotate abnormally, no abnormalities are noted
vascular in the eyelids or conjunctiva;
the corneal inspection highlights its clarity;
the inspection of the pupils detects their equality, regularity, and the presence of the pupillary reflex;

The examination of eye mobility and binocular vision reveals a normal head position.
normal pupillary distance, without trauma, normal fixation estimation.
Establishing the personal visual history, both past and present, encompasses several
phase:
obtaining general information;
the patient's complaint;
personal and family visual history, based on which one can establish faster and more accurately a
diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Theoretically, the visceral system is responsible for vegetative life and
influence emmetropic behaviors, especially in the newborn, whose ocular structures are
influenced by digestive and circulatory disturbances. Functionally, the variations in focus are
commands of the autonomic nervous system with its sympathetic and parasympathetic components. This system

it depends on the central nervous system and the hormonal system, influencing them in turn.
Ocular dioptric balance is influenced by vegetative functions. Profound disturbances of

Skeletal and cortical can also influence focusing. This is not the case here.
Reading, working closely requires visual effort that can be accepted without other consequences than
stinging and a feeling of heaviness in the eyes; in some cases, the effort is avoided in the form of
progression of myopia.

Health Status
The patient underwent comprehensive medical tests at the request of the employer.
He presents a good state of health, does not suffer from any conditions. Correct blood pressure, no diabetes.
Rest properly. Has a proper diet rich in vitamins as he is knowledgeable of
the consequences of vitamin deficiencies, including those related to visual health.
He/She has regular activities outdoors and plays sports.

Physical Appearance
We are interested in some general information about the patient's physical appearance and posture.

The skin has a normal appearance as well as a pleasant appearance.


The posture is normal without leaning of the body or head.
The gaze is normal and focused.
He faces sports and has a balanced motor development.

of an ophthalmologist. If changes related to the ocular media are not detected, it proceeds to
the next step.
In this case, the absence of any indication of ocular or other pathology, but also after the statement that
he/she had no conditions discovered in the previous check-up, it was decided to perform it in the office

REFRACŢIA OBIECTIVĂcu AUTOREFRACTO-KERATOMETRU.


For objective refraction, the subject is positioned in front of the apparatus, focusing through the lens on a target.
and when the device indicates optimal coincidence on the screen, the examiner presses the fixation button 3-4 times,

thus performing multiple measurements. establishing several values of spherical ametropias


(the cylindrical case was not the case). Each individual measurement as well as an average value of them,
for each eye individually, they are printed on thermal paper and will be taken into account for the refraction

Correction of myopia with air lenses.
The correction of myopia is done with air lenses which, placed in front of the eyes within certain limits
determinate (12-15 mm) in relation to the apex of the cornea, corrects negative refractive errors.
If the lens moves away from the eye, the action of convex glasses increases, while
the action of concave lenses decreases. The lenses are supported in front of the eyes by special supports
(glasses frames). The lenses used, mounted in glasses, modify the total refraction of
of the eye; the associated eye-lens system must be considered centered.
The glasses used in static refractive anomalies (the eye accommodated for infinity) have
the goal of reintroducing the image of the object onto the retina. The principle on which the application is based

It would be ideal for the lenses to have an anti-reflective treatment to eliminate light reflections in

in case sunlight is disturbing, it is advisable to opt for a photochromic lens.
For more than 4 hours of work in front of LCD monitors, lenses can also be used with
blue light protection - 420 nm. (BLU BLOCKER)

Correction of myopia with contact lenses


Myopia correction can also be achieved through an optical system (contact lenses), applied directly.
on the anterior surface of the cornea, a system that is maintained in this position by capillarity, by
the tear film. This film suppresses both irregularities and curvature defects of the
the anterior surface of the cornea. They have the advantage of providing better visual acuity, a field of
unlimited vision and a normal field of view. Since the myopia is mild in this case, the prescription will avoid
contact lenses.

Optical correction with diverging lenses is absolutely necessary (fig. 38, 39)
Following for several years 28 nearsighted individuals who did not wear glasses, one or more years and
then they wore them permanently, for one or more years, studies have shown that the progression of myopia was

the same, with or without wearing glasses. This finding does not justify not wearing glasses.

3.2. Components of corrective glasses

The glasses being a functional compensatory optical system, it is necessary for their shape and structure
to be chosen based on the intended use.

The 28-year-old patient will wear permanent glasses, wanting a modern and very
light, suitable for age. Because he is indecisive in choosing the frame, he accepts the opinions of others, leaving
the appreciation and experience of the optometrist technician in guiding him towards a modern and elegant pair of glasses.

The optometrist technician first focuses on a frame that meets their requirements.
to fit the client's style but also to be functional in accordance with the optometric data and
its anthropomorphic features.
The criteria by which the optometrist technician is guided are:
* according to the characteristics of the optical system that is mounted;

* according to the morphology of the head;

after using the glasses and the predominant activity


daily.
* the size and shape of the face;

* fashion and style.

* colors.
The optometrist does not choose a specific shape; he focuses on a frame that enhances.
the appearance of the face.

After several attempts with shapes and colors, the chosen frame is made of plastic, having two
colors and the arms equipped with movable hinges.
The mount from fig. 18 was chosen.

The material it is made of is durable and fully meets the requirements.


the patient and last but not least provides an aesthetic and functional aspect.

Choosing the frame is very important; glasses are an accessory worn on the face that can
hides or emphasizes the defects, which gives the client personality and elegance. The role of the technician-
the optometrist is to oversee the shape of the frame, to respect the line of the eyebrows that provide the most
more accent of the expression of the figure.

Once, the chosen frame is passed to the adjustment of the mount, the main elements are:

* the arrangement of the two lenses in the same plane;


* identically inclined arms;
* the arms close and open symmetrically;
* the ends of the arms slightly curved;

40
* symmetric and close permits to rings;
* the lenses' fixation is checked;
* the screws and nuts are being tightened;

* the axes, powers, and centering of the lenses are checked;


* the lenses are cleaned;
* it is introduced into heels or clutches.
If the patient is satisfied with the services provided, they will definitely come back a second time and even more.

multiple times a new glasses that can offer a different physical appearance and it is likely that it will

recommend positive optics to friends and acquaintances.

3.3. The lenses necessary for the correction of myopia

Mr. Hagiu Victor being diagnosed with SIMPLE MYOPIA, MILD in BOTH EYES correction
is made with air lenses, made of plastic, spherical, concave. The prescribed glasses are a pair of glasses

permanent, the power of the lenses being:


OD: SF -1.00 dpt and
OS: SF - 0.50 dpt,
DIP = 60 mm in VA,
These glasses are worn for about 15 hours a day, which is why it is recommended that the lenses be
executed from organic glass, being much more aesthetic and functional than mineral glass.
The hardness of plastic lenses is lower than that of mineral glass lenses.
therefore, an additional layer of hardening containing substances is applied to the surface of the lenses
nanocomposite. An anti-reflective treatment will be applied to the surface of the lenses, which has the effect of

reducing the reflection coefficient, thereby increasing the brightness when the beam passes through
light through lens. Anti-reflective treated lenses ensure better clarity and contrast than a
untreated lens. The anti-reflective treatment can have several residual colors depending on how many
Layers are deposited on the lens and on the materials used. The most suitable is the green-yellow one.
These lenses are recommended for computer users and for driving vehicles.

lenses with blue light protection 'BLUE PROTECT'. It was not chosen, as it is about a pair of glasses
permanent.
A lens with high ultraviolet protection has been recommended.
Since the diopters are low, thin lenses are not selected.

41
It is noted that in the case of high myopia (over 6 diopters), organic glass lenses are recommended.
(are lighter, break harder) and with a high refractive index that implicitly leads to a
thinning of the lens edges. The higher the refractive index, the more
the thickness will be smaller on the outside (thinner). This is not the case for this patient.
Another recommendation would be that the lenses have a protective coating against light.

The prospect of this lens can be found in fig. 41.


In figure 41. The modern treatments of the lens offered are explicitly shown graphically: hydrophobic coating,

appropriates.
These brochures were presented to the client.
For diverging lenses (concave), we have a brief description:
, They have the property of refracting the rays of light that fall on their surface in such a way
so that the image of the object located at the distance corresponding to the remotum point (maximum distance from
to the eyes to which accommodation is still possible), (of the ametropic eye), is 'readjusted' on the retina.
At the center, they are thinner than at the edge, and the objects viewed through these lenses appear to move.
in the direction of the lens movement.

In the case of high myopias (over 6 diopters), organic glass lenses are recommended (they are more
light) and with a high refractive index which implicitly leads to a reduction in the external thickness of
lenses. (in general, the higher the refractive index, the thinner the lens will be).
Their thickness is smaller in the center and increases towards the periphery.

In the past, mineral glass was used for small values, due to its better optical qualities.

42
Another recommendation would be for the lenses to be with anti-reflective treatment and photochromatic color.

grey because compared to the shade of brown, it does not distort colors.

For concave lenses, we have the following advantages:


They can be mounted on almost all types of mounts.
For myopes, lenses can be made with the highest refractive index (1.74).
and disadvantages:
The edges are thicker than the center and increase with the higher the diopter.
If the lenses are made of mineral glass and the diopters are high, there is a risk that the lenses may
to break during processing, due to the small thickness at the center.
In the case of ordering special lenses (with thinner edges), the price is higher.
To the (visual) effect of shrinking the eyes.
In general, we present some considerations - mineral lenses versus organic lenses.

The advantages of mineral bottles


Optically, the most important feature is the uniformity of the index of
refraction in the mass of the material. A hierarchy based on this criterion ranks mineral glasses in first place.
and then the organic bottles.
Increased resistance to scratches and does not change from a physicochemical point of view.
chemical action at high temperatures.

Disadvantages of mineral bottles:


high density (heavy weight);
reduced tensile strength;
the high hardness, compared to air lenses made of organic glass, which increases the processing cost of these;
the fragility of the bottles is a disadvantage (very low shock resistance);
The presence of sharp edges can lead to injuries.
The optical glass may contain bubbles or opaque impurities that scatter light. Such defects have
different effects on the various functions of lenses.

Advantages of organic bottles:


- superior mechanical properties to mineral glass, are not as brittle as mineral glass;
- the precise pouring of these materials can replace the polishing and buffing process, and through
injection molding can produce simple lenses with polished surfaces in a few seconds;

43
A relatively high dispersion can be obtained, many plastic materials having superior properties.
mineral glasses in the ultraviolet and infrared domains of the spectrum;
- lenses made from organic materials are lighter;
- an advantage of organic bottles is the fact that they can be colored, practically in any color, either
either by depositing the spectral filtering layer on the surface of the lens, or by mass coloring.
- to superior properties of mineral glass in the ultraviolet and infrared spectrum.

Disadvantages of organic bottles:


organic glasses have lower refractive indices (nd=1.4…1.7) than mineral glass and a
spectral work domain limited to visible.
they are less resistant to scratches, deformations, and temperature variations have a much greater influence
greater than in the case of mineral optical glass, both in terms of expansion and in terms of
variation of the refractive index.

Contact lenses
Contact lenses (recommended but not advised) in this case are produced by
Bausch&Lomb, and these can be:

A contact lens provides protection for the cornea and the environment behind it.
Disadvantages
It is applied directly to the eyeball, which represents a delicate operation and requires conduct.
of special hygiene. In some cases, the body does not accept these lenses, which it perceives as
some foreign bodies and react through various inflammatory, infectious processes, etc.
In the case of lenses, various defects may occur, such as: filiform inclusions (single fibers,
intersect, or in the form of separating planes), gas bubbles (round, oval, elongated),

the high coefficient of light absorption, optical homogeneity (glass does not have the same value as
the refractive index throughout its mass), double refraction (which occurs due to some heating or cooling
non-uniform, electric or magnetic fields, pressures), lens staining (modification of the composition
stains appearing in the colors of the rainbow that can occur during the processing of glass,
example of polishing), very low shock resistance (inadequate chemical composition through
non-compliance with the prescription), scratches, peeling of the layers applied to the lenses, detachment of the lens that

allows near vision (in bifocal lenses), the inaccuracy of the diopters, the optical center of the lens
very offset from its geometric center, color differences between lenses made of the same material and
the same diopter (in the case of colored lenses).
A large part of colored contact lenses cannot reduce all ultraviolet radiation as
it is possible in the case of colored air lenses.
Colored lenses in a single color have minimal absorption, and the wearer is serious.

controlled reduction of light, but this is harder to accept instead of some glasses with
sun protection.

3.4. Frame of the glasses


The glasses are an optical instrument that serves to protect the eye or to correct it.
certain vision defects. It consists of the actual frame and two lenses. The main role of
the purpose of the frame is to position the lens as accurately as possible on the optical axis of the eye. The frame for

the glasses are made up of a lens support, called a frame, and arms for securing the glasses
after the ear and the nasal saddle. The glasses frames must have the following characteristics: to
aesthetic, lightweight, resistant to physical and chemical agents, non-flammable, durable and easy to
processed.
The mount was chosen based on a few criteria:
1. Physical-aesthetic personal data (male, brunette, brown eyes)
The type of work and the social environment in which he/she lives (computer work - lightweight frames, modern environment - frames

of aesthetic plastics)
2. The characteristics of lenses (diopters with '-', concave, meaning thicker at the edges, 7 layers
AR, Blue protect means blue reflections)
3. Of the specific anthropomorphic characteristics of the subject's head:
main: the width of the nose, the escape angles of the nose, the width of the head defined by the width
superior auricular and sphenoidal width.

45
secondary: the height and shape of the eyebrows, the distances between the eyelids of the two eyes, the width

temporal of the head-arms corresponding.


4. And last but not least, the client's acceptance of the frame arrangement when looking in the mirror.
Important: The dress that would not be liked would not be worn.

Thus, the component parts of the frame made of plastic materials comply with the mounting chosen by the client,

they are
· The frame has the role of securing the lenses on the mount and fixing it according to the characteristics.
anthropomorphic features of the head in accordance with the aforementioned optometric requirements (fig.

42)
· The arm helps to secure the glasses on the wearer's head and adjust them (angle
pantoscopic, distance from the cornea to the front of the lens = 12mm, a good temporal fixation but
lejeră, etc)(fig. 43).
· hinges - perform the assembly and flexion of the arm to the frame (fig. 44).
· The nasal saddle (normal, angled, curved) - (fig. 45) supports the frame on the nose.
· metal studs and applications - are used for mounting hinges and have an aesthetic role
· In this regard, the mount from fig. 46 was chosen.

[Link] and fitting glasses

The assembly of the glasses was done taking into account the following criteria:
1. It was taken into consideration that the edge of the frame should not reduce the field of view and should have the shape and

the dimensions corresponding to the face.

2. Adjust the frame so that the distance from the lens to the eye is 13 mm, the angle
the tilt of the frame plan should be 10 - 15° and the frame is arranged for the final position and
portable dresser.
3. The interpupillary distance is measured and marked for each eye separately.
4. The pupil height is marked for both eyes so that looking from
the lateral plane of the frame should be in the vertical plane while the view is in the horizontal plane and at infinity.

5. The position of the assembly centers is checked.


The lenses are chosen according to the appropriate diameter so that the bottom edge of the frame does not

surpass the dotted line on the lens.

Fitting the recommended glasses

46
a. The corresponding lenses are selected based on the data indicated on the prescription. In this case, two are selected.

organic glass lenses with anti-reflective treatment, layers with oleophobic properties and
hydrophobic and with UV filter, gray photochromatic, PC filter with diopters -1.00dpt sf and
-0.50dpt sf.
b. A visual inspection of the lenses is performed. The condition of the lens surfaces is checked,
c. The diopters are checked with an autolensmeter and the center of the lenses is marked.
d. The selected frame is scanned by the client to be mounted,
e. Center the lens for the right eye considering the pupil distance, then you
vacuumizes
The lens is inserted into the automatic grinding machine and is ground.
The frame is heated and the right lens is slowly introduced,
h. The same procedure is followed with the lens of the left eye.
The frame correction consists of reshaping the frame after the lenses have been mounted.

The main points that attention should be focused on are:


the two lenses must be in the same plane
The two arms must have the same inclination.
The arms open symmetrically and close accordingly.
The arms should be practically parallel or slightly bent and the lower opening of the auricular interval.
the ends of the arms slightly curved
6. the fixation of the lenses and the polishing of the frames is checked

All the screws are gathered together.

8. the center of the lenses


9. the lenses are cleaned
10. it is introduced into the case protected from dust

Adjustment of the recommended glasses


The glasses ready for delivery must undergo a final adjustment to fit the way they will be worn.
The adjustment is made methodically by following the following steps.

The adjustment of the opening of the arm is made according to:


the shape of the temples

b. upper auricular interval


The pressure on the skull is applied only at the level of the tip of the auricular groove so that it does not

compress the superficial temporal artery. The arms should not be too far from the temples.
aesthetic and stability motives. It is ideal for the arms to be straight from the hinge to the beginning

47
the temples. The arms curve slightly if the temples are round. Concave arms are avoided that are
aesthetics, press the temples and push the frame forward.
Typically, the arms are symmetrical, but sometimes one arm needs to be opened more due to
of head asymmetry. It is checked that the lenses are at the same distance from both eyes. If not
the case, the arm opens on the side of the lens that is farther from the eye.
Verification
Each arm rests on the tips of the auricular grooves and not above, which happens

The company S.C. OPTItech S.R.L., with a registered capital of 1000 lei, was established in
09.10.2010 and is registered at the trade register under number J20/2010/2010.
The enterprise is a limited liability company and is part of the category
small enterprises. There is a single partner.
The company's general objective through the implementation of this project is to achieve growth.
the degree of customer satisfaction, an adequate profit, and the growth and diversification of activities.

53
Based on the acquired knowledge, previous successes, and the type of services offered, the strategy
The future of the business will be one of qualitative differentiation compared to the competition's offering.

The purpose of the company is to meet the needs of the population in the area of the store with products and

medical optics services.


To achieve the proposed goals, the enterprise will undertake the following types of
activity
1. testing and diagnosing vision problems;
2. recommendation, execution, and marketing of eyeglasses and the necessary accessories
to them
3. marketing of sunglasses and marketing of contact lenses and solutions
necessary for contact lenses.
The price of products and services will be acceptable.

Products and services


The products that will be manufactured and marketed by the enterprise, as well as the services will

specify each type of activity.
The proposed products will be distinguished by their price/quality ratio compared to what can be found on
piaţă.
The assortment will include lenses and frames from recognized manufacturers (Essilor, Hoya, Zeiss)
and testing services performed with high-performance equipment and qualified personnel.

The location of the company

The enterprise will initially operate in the municipality of Iaşi, Center. Following a study, it has...

concluded that the chosen area for opening the store has increased potential.
Analyzing the given area, we can state that it:
it is relatively compact;
the average income of the residents is generally quite high;
developed infrastructure;
the absence of a wide range of medical optical services and products.
A high level of popularity, with 10-story buildings being predominant.

54
The competitors in the area are 2 companies: S.C. Optisens S.R.L. which offers fast services but of
questionable quality due to the manual assembly and S.C. Optimax S.R.L. with products at
high prices and no ophthalmologist and installation carried out by another company.

Other advantages:
normal working conditions (electricity, sewage, heating, gas, telephone, internet);
the existence of a hospital with an ophthalmology office in the area whose patients will be

referred to our company, according to a protocol concluded.


the existence of a large number of buildings and bank branches, institutions, and shops around

respectively along with the positioning in other areas.

The targeted market segment

The potential clients of the company are people of all ages, starting from children aged 2.
and up to elderly people. However, the target market of the company consists of individuals whose age
this encompasses ages 20-40 (myopia predisposition) and 45-55 (active individuals, presbyopic, with potential
finance and provide adequate education, potential carriers of progressive ideas).

Competition

In the area provided by our company, there are two more competitors: S.C. Optisens S.R.L. and S.C.
Optimax S.R.L. is an indirect competitor: the hospital with an ophthalmology department that could send
clients at other optical centers. This was avoided by concluding a collaboration protocol.
S.C. Optisens S.R.L. offers a range of glasses with cheap frames and lenses and low quality of
execution. S.C. Optimax S.R.L. has been experiencing a long delay in the release of glasses from
the reason that they do not have installation in their own center and do not have a doctor in the staff composition.

55
The prices charged by the two existing companies are higher or similar to those of
I established S.C. OPTItech S.R.L. Through the combination of price - quality, variety - novelty we believe that we will

capture the proposed market segment.
