Spectacles for the emmetropic presbyopic optometrist.

Presbyopia brings special seeing problems for an emmetropic optometrist. Incorporating the bifocal into a half-glass offers several advantages. The best parameters for this spectacle form are derived from experience, and also by comparing it to single-vision half-glasses, bifocals, and trifocals. Particular facility in both prescribing and fabricating derives from the great number of power and size relations between upper and lower segments available. One can extrapolate similar benefits in this spectacle form for other occupations and hobbies as well as for presbyopic wearers of single-vision contact lenses.

Assessing field defects of the low-vision patient.

Field losses are of particular significance to the low-vision patient, so it is incumbent upon the low-vision clinician to determine the degree, location, and extent of this field loss. Optometrists prefer to map the fields carefully for quantitative analysis, but if fatigue or debility prevent this a simplified technique is required. Devices and techniques are described which are shown to be effective.

Headborne illuminator for the partially sighted.

An inexpensive, headborne device is described that provides a bright spot of light on reading material even when the material is brought within 1 or 2 cm of the viewing eye. This aid has been used with great success by one of the authors for about 2 yr. This illuminator, or modifications of it, should prove valuable to other partially sighted people.
