    Lensometer Assistance - Specifically, Reading PRISM

    Hello to all!

    I wondered if anyone would possibly have any articles with photos on how to read prism on the Lensometer? Or if at all possible to point me to such a document or video on this board? I've done a search for awhile but cannot find anything like it.

    Thank you in advance for ANY help!

    Another perfectly good source is the User's manual that comes with most reputable, well-made makers of lensometers. Lately, manuals seem to be scarce on information for all products, so you might find that manuals of older lensometers contain "how to" information, in abundance. The manufacturing websites may also have technical bulletins to assist you.

    It's nice to see another ophthalmic community member join.

    Welcome to the forum jeepj27! Great 1st thread/post.

    Can you find someone locally that can help and mentor you?

    Do you have any training?

    What lensometer are you using?

    Do you have any books, manuals, anything?
