Q: What would define the OC height? The actual OC or the value at the PRP?

You are right but shape matter too if you want be accurate.Quote:

Not necessarily. There are a whole lot of frames with very deep B measurements, especially round ones. I personally have a couple frames with more decentration from the OC to the bottom than from the OC to the temporal edge. Hell, I'm wearing one right now; the thickest part of the lens is the bottom.Quote:

You are going to place the OC 4 above datum. What is the approximate thickness at the lower, temporal edge (axis 225)?
1st, you need the power @225. (-5.00)
Dot the lens at the point you want the OC. Measure from that point to the furthest point @ axis 225, then double it.
Plug that doubled measurement into the “eye size” box. It doesn’t matter what bridge and PD you use as long as the frame PD and patients PD equals out ( 55 eye + 15 dbl = 70, use 70 in the PD box.)
Basically, you need the power at the meridian you wish to know the approximate thickness. You need to measure from the OC out to that point, double it, then use that number as the “eye size”. And it doesn’t matter what PD or dbl you use as long as there is no decentration in the calculation. Do not enter a cyl or axis.
Optical21/7 is correct just one item to add. If the longest radius is on the nasal side you have to reduce the decentration by the number mm that the radius is longer on the nasal side than the temporal side. This occurs in many shapes in particular a pilot.
(I somehow lost 3 hours...) The method I described above eliminates decentration in the equation. You are simply having the calculator figure the thickness of a certain power with a certain radius. If you wanted to figure the thickness of the upper nasal (like a pilot shape) you would measure from the OC to the upper nasal (45 degrees) then double that measurement and use it for the “eye size”. (Once again, using the same frame *PD* as the patient PD).
Let’s not forget donjuan wants to know the thickest point which surely does not have to be located at the longest radius. Lab calculation software will tell you the thickest and thinnest point and give the location.

Even though you are decentering the OC, you need to eliminate decentration to trick the calculator. It makes no difference what bridge size you enter (or PD for that matter), as long as the frame PD and the Patient’s PD are equal. What you wrote above is correct. Entering that info, along with selecting the lens index will give you an approximation of how thick a -7.25 would be 27mm from the OC.Quote:

Optical24/7 has already quite clearly, and concisely, explained how to calculate thickness at any axis using this method.Quote:
