Tls TLF Phoropter 1

The Trial Lens Set (TLS) is a set of lenses used to neutralize refractive errors during eye exams. It includes spherical, cylindrical, and prism lenses in various powers housed in a carrying case. Spherical lenses come in positive/negative colors while cylindrical lenses indicate axis. The lenses fit into a Trial Frame, which allows adjustable fitting and lens placement. The Phoropter is an instrument used by eye doctors to perform refractions. It houses lenses that can test distance and near vision and perform other measurements. Both the TLS and Phoropter allow refractive error evaluation but the Phoropter provides a more controlled environment.

The Trial Lens Set

The Trial Frame

The Phoropter
Trial Lens Set
Trial Lens Set
• It is a set of biconcave and biconvex minus/plus
lenses designed to neutralize the refractive error of
patients.
• Is usually put in a carrying case, drawer, or wooden
cabinet
• TLS include:
- positive/negative spherical lenses
- positive/negative cylindrical lenses
- prisms and accessory lenses
Trial Lens Set
TLS(spherical lenses)
• Positive lenses: black color rims with biconvex
lenses
In some sets the rims come in green color (old
sets)
• Negative lenses: red color rims with biconcave
lenses
TLS(cylindrical lenses)
• They have same characteristics when it comes
to color and type of lens.
• These lenses have two lines opposite to each
other on their borders to indicate the cylinder
axis position
TLS(prisms and accessory lenses)
• Prisms: these are present from 1 diopter to 10
diopters.
• Accessory lenses include:
Occluder, pinhole, stenopeic slit, polarizing
filter, red/green filters, madox, fogging lens,
plano lens, cross cylinder
TLS
• The set comes in a holding tray with beveled
slots for fast and easy insertion of the lenses
• The lenses has the highest degree of accuracy
to determine VA, due to the additive power
curve design.
It allows the compensation for thickness and air
spacing between lenses
TLS
• The lens rims can be either plastic or
aluminum.
• Presented with one sided coded tips to show
the power and correct position of the lens
• High powers (>6 diopters) have reduced
aperture to reduce aberations.
• 25 mm diameter meniscus lenses
Trial Frame
• A spectacle frame with variable adjustments
used to fit the trial lenses and perform the
refractive test easily.
• Manufactured for durability, yet at the same
time for being of a light-weight.
Trial Frame
Trial Frame
• The trial frame includes the following features:
-horizontal and vertical bridge adjustments
-saddle bridge for a comfortable nose fit
-separate PD adjustment
-adjustment for temple length and angle
-adjustment for cylinder axis
-numbered scale for the cylinder axis
-spacing for lens holding(2 for sphere and 3 for
cylinder)
Trial Frame
Phoropter
Phoropter
• An instrument used by eye care
professionals(ECP) during an eye exam .
• The word “phoropter” and the design of the
instrument are registered trademarks of
Reichert Inc. NY USA(American Optical)
Instruments for other manufacturers are referred
to as “manual refractors”
Phoropter
• Typically, the patient places his head behind the
phoropter and looks at a chart placed at optical
infinity (20 feet or 6 meters) to test distance
refraction. And looks at a chart placed 30-40
cm for near refraction.
• Phoropters can also measure: phorias,
accommodative amplitudes, accommodative
leads/lags, horizontal and vertical vergence,
and more
Phoropter
• The lenses of the phoropter are measured in
0.25 diopters increments.
• Cylinder powers are available in pluses and
minuses for Ophthalmologists and Orthoptists
use the plus power while Optometrists use the
minus power cylinder
• The phoropter also includes prismatic lenses
which are used to analyze binocular vision and
treat orthoptic problems.
TLS/Phoropter
• Advantages: • Advantages:
-mobility -lenses are properly
-simpler form preserved
-easier and shorter testing
time
-easier fog test
-other refractive
measurements
TLS/Phoropter
• Disadvantages: • Disadvantages:
-cleaning lenses -may generate cylindrical
-weight on patient face measurement errors due to
head tilt
-hides the face of the
patient
