I'm sure someone here knows the answer to this!
Who was the Prentice behind Prentice's Formula or Prentice's Rule?
Heck, someone here may be Prentice or even know Prentice!
Thanks,
John

Have you tried Google. Mr. Google knows everything.
The father of Optometry.
Charles F. Prentice
Thanks!
Yeah, I knew Chucky P. He was a great guy. We used to go to the speakeasys together when we were teenagers. Ryser was 30 at the time, so he'd let us in.

I'll be darned... quite the little upstart renegade I'd say...
Can you measure a p.d. with that thing?
In general terms, optics is the science of vision and light. An optician is the person that assembles and dispenses eyeglasses or contact lenses to correct vision impairments, which are prescribed by ophthalmologists (a medical practitioner) and optometrists.
The optometry profession is defined by the World Council of Optometry (WCO) as follows:
“Optometry is a healthcare profession that is autonomous, educated, and regulated (licensed/registered), and optometrists are the primary healthcare practitioners of the eye and visual system who provide comprehensive eye and vision care, which includes refraction and dispensing, detection/diagnosis and management of disease in the eye, and the rehabilitation of conditions of the visual system.”
Generally optometry has emerged from optics, as the education of opticians has expanded to include clinical subjects and as their scope of practice has been enlarged as a consequence. Some opticians have become optometrists.
