In some cases, mild farsightedness can be treated with simple Magnifying Lenses or "reading glasses". However, an Optometrist may need to prescribe a Dioptre for both eyes or each eye, allowing lenses to be custom ground to the patient's specific needs. Usually, the dioptre (or "prescription") is equal for both eyes; in some cases, however, the two eyes may need different prescriptions. Patients with presbyopia or other disorders of Accommodation often benefit from Bifocal s, or lenses with separate sections ground to different prescriptions for different circumstances. Typically a person with myopia would have one section of a prescription lens that has a certain diverging power while another section of the lens would have a lower diverging power for close-up work. Similarly a person with hypermetropia would have one section of the lens with a certain converging power and another section with a greater power for close-up work. SEE ALSO |
