    Prism verification involves using a lensometer to determine the amount and direction of any prism present in an eyeglass lens. The target is deflected in the direction of the prism base, either toward the nose for base-in prism or toward the temples for base-out prism. The amount of deflection is read using the reticle, with each full and half ring representing the strength of the prism in prism diopters. The prism is measured where the middle sphere and cylinder lines cross on the lensometer.

    PRISM VERIFICATION

    IQRA IQBAL
    A… Prism moves (deflects) the lensometer target
    away from the center of the reticle.
    • The target is deflected in the direction of the
    prism base. Base directions are up, down, in and
    out.
    • Base-in and base-out are specified relative to the
    eye.
    • Base-in (BI) prism is present when the target
    deflects toward the nose (the bridge of the
    glasses, or nasally).
    • Base-out(BO) prism is present when the target
    deflects toward the temples .
    B… The amount of prism is determined using the
    reticle. For most lensometer, the first ring is ½
    prism diopter, the next ring 1 prism diopter.
    • The 1,2,3,4, and 5Δ rings are often labeled on the
    reticle.
    • The ½Δring is not usually labeled.
    C… Measure the prism at the point where the
    middle sphere line crosses the middle cylinder
    line.
