Why We Prescribe Glasses
Majority of patients in our OPD comes
with complaints of...

OCULAR
SYMPTOMS
REFFERED
SYMPTOMS
• BLURRED VISSION
• DIPLOPIA
• CONFUSION
HEADACHE
• ASTHENOPIA
• EYE STRAIN
• OCULAR
IRRITATION
• PAIN
• In child
intractable
blepharitis &
conjunctivitis
IIEI&H
Sequence of Prescription
HYPEROPIA Age
Fogging
Refinement methods
1. Less than 3yrs ------- Full Correction
2. 3 to 8yrs -------------- depends on Tropia(Full Gross
Value subjective)or Phoria (Full net- optimal, undercorrection)
3. Adults to follow rule of subjective refraction
 MYOPIA
1. Thumb rules
Normal Patients
• -1 to -6 full
correction
• >-6
undercorrect
Esotropia
• -6 DS or Above
under correct
to optimal
Exotropia
• Over correct
Exotropia
IIEI&H
Hyperopic/Myopic/Astigmatism...
Normal Patients
 In child less than 3 yrs of age = 1.25DS regular
 Older than 3 yrs. = all astigmatism should be
corrected
 Child and young : followed up 6 monthly
 Adults : 6 month to yearly
 Frequent changes : over correct (0.25D)
 Every patients suspected of refractive error
should be checked Dry and Wet Refractive error.
