- Recognise how lens manufacturers compensate for these power and prism variations,
- Appreciate a change in pantoscopic tilt and/or corneal vertex distance will affect the head and eye position when a patient accesses the near portion of a progressive lens, and
- Appreciate the prism in a dispensed spectacle lens can differ from that of a trial lens.
