Abstract

Over refraction of an aphakic patient with a temporary lens clipped into an empty eye wire of a spectacles frame to be subsequently permanently glazed and worn by the patient. With the temporary lens set at proper vertex distance from the cornea, centered with the eye and correct face fitting adjustment of the frame, over-refraction is undertaken for determination of permanent lens refractive requirements.
