OC's and Δ

Today I spent like 20 minutes trying to fix a screw in a pair of glasses -- way too long. But on the plus side I finally got to learn about the nut and bolt assembly instead of using a temple screw, and I played around with some of the tools for that (ie. hexnut screwdriver, crimpers, file). I guess I should really look into finally purchasing that set of adjustment tools...
Oh also there's this adhesive called LocTite that can be used to keep temple screws tight over time. And apparently acetone can be used to remove paint from lenses without damaging the coatings.

I also received another lesson in anisometropia too. If a patient is +1.50 OD and -1.50 OS, and they look away 1 cm away from the optical centres, what do they get? Apparently... diplopia. And 3 prism dioptres of strain on the EOM. Oh this all sounds ever so vaguely familiar.


Work days left: 10
