    Confused Iseikonic Lens Calculator

    Hi...student here! On the magnification calculator available here on OptiBoard, I am not sure how to read the magnification percent, as there are two numbers given...any help out there?
    OD +1.00 -0.25 180 BC 7.00D Cthickness 3.3mm VD 14mm

    OS +3.50 -0.25 175 BC 9.00D Cthickness 4.3mm VD 14mm

    The answer is supposed to be 3.4% magnification difference, but when I put the numbers into the calculator, I get...
    OD Spectacle Magnification:
    3.0% / 2.6% × 180

    OD Spectacle Magnification:
    7.9% / 7.5% × 175

    I do not know how to come up with 3.4% regardless of number combinations!
    Following this step I need to change some parameters, but if I can't read the answer correctly I can't even get to the next step!

    Welcome to OB.

    I hope you have a short and full recovery.

    The calculators on OB were written by Darryl Meister.

    He used more complex and accurate equations, for example, probably using Remole's equations instead of Prentice.
