Thankfully, most patients now receive replacement lenses during cataract surgery and there is no longer a need for extremely hyperopic post-surgery prescriptions. The most important thing to remember when understanding the concept of vertex distance is that in ALL circumstances, more vertex distance equates to more perceived plus power.

They are both minus powers, but In this case we will figure out what the patient is perceiving in a pair that has already been made. If the lens is moved away from the eye you make d negative or add your minus sign If the lens is moved closer to the eye you make d positive or leave it alone. There is a difference between those two ideas. Their brain is already doing the adjustment on its own. Now we just need to make a lens that matches what their brain is seeing. If their brain is seeing the lens as being stronger we will lower the power.

If their brain is seeing the lens as being weaker we would raise the power. That power, raised or lowered from what was actually written on the Rx is what we want. NOT to correct them back to the original amount written on the Rx. I know, I know, confusing to say the least. Just keep in mind that the brain is already doing the compensation and we are working from there. In this case we will think ahead and provide the lab with enough information that they can make the lenses to the correct power as perceived by the wearer.

The device is set to a default vertex distance of 10mm. The customer is now in your store and chooses a frame. You measure that frame and find it sits just 8mm away from his eye.

You have a difference in the as worn position of 2mm or the lens sitting 0. Again to avoid a costly remake in this case we will think ahead and provide the lab with enough information that they can make the lenses to the correct power as perceived by the wearer.
