What is the prismatic effect 2 mm from the optical center of a +7.00 lens?

• A. 1.0 prism diopters
• B. 2.00 prism diopters
• C. 0.75 prism diopters
• D. 1.4 prism diopters

Answer: (D)

To determine the prismatic effect created by a lens at a specified distance from its optical center, one can use the following formula: Prism diopters (PD) = (deviation in mm) / (distance in meters). In this case, a +7.00 D lens introduces a prismatic effect. The conversion factor for prism diopters is that for every diopter of lens power, there is a deviation of 1 mm for every 1 meter from the optical center. For a +7.00 D lens and a distance of 2 mm (which is 0.002 meters) from the optical center, we can calculate the effect as follows: 1. Multiply the lens power (+7.00 D) by the induced deviation (2 mm): +7.00 D x 2 mm = 14 pd (prism diopters). 2. Since we calculate in meters for the conversion: 14 pd / 1 = 14 prism diopters when distance is accounted. However, the actual correct calculation for 2 mm translates into measuring it the proper way, hence we can leverage the rule of thumb that for every D lens power at 1 mm deviation at the corresponding distance can lead us to
