    Questions??????? Need Help!!!!!!

    Hi i am new to this thread, i started working at an optical store through my friend, i stumbled upon this board one day and thought i would join it. This industry really interests me, i like it. I have a few questions if someone can answer them i would be gratefull, once again i just started a few months a go and just starting to get a hang of things so my questions maybe be basic to complex.


    1) When an patient comes to you and tells you that they can't see properly with their glasses.

    How do you figure out what's wrong with the glasses.

    Check pd, power, axis, height if bifocals, am i missing anything else???



    2) I get a lot of questions about prescription sunglasses. How do i know which prescription can fit a sunglass.

    I know for a fact if the prescription is 2 high you can't go with 2 much curve. I have trouble choosing the proper frame, what information do you need to know regarding the patient's info, rx and frame????


    3) Thin lenses (High Index) is good to be used with AR coating, i would like to know why????



    I would like to thank you in advance for any feedback :D

    To first question, if they have a "plus" rx it's difficult. I dare say no myope is going to complain unless the rx is actually wrong. With hyperopia, it's difficult, as measured acuity sans correction is often 20/20--so you have to explain why they need glasses and why they are uncomfortable when they first get them.
    If you've checked the things you've mentioned, it's time for the Doc to re-check the rx.
