“ANSImplified” – A Practical Application of Z80.1 By Dick Whitney – Nov 7, 2010 MA Opticians ABO Course • Must I comply?- 5 min • Since 1979, the ANSI Z80.1 standard has been a recommendation, not a requirement • They are recommended guidelines, which when followed will help to deliver quality product to the consumer. • It is highly desirable to strive to meet this standard, but strict compliance is not always possible as noted in the Purpose section of ANSI Z80.1 . • While ANSI is not a requirement , local and state laws may dictate otherwise (NJ, CA). • ANSI Standards bodies strive for minimum requirements, in order not to restrict trade or inhibit new and different technologies.

Power tolerance method revision: The 2010 standard applies tolerances to the measured sphere and cyl (- notation) for a given RX “ANSImplified” – A Practical Application of Z80.1 By Dick Whitney – Nov 7, 2010 MA Opticians ABO Course 4. What’s new? 5 min • Power tolerance method revision: • The 2010 standard applies tolerances to the measured sphere and cyl (- notation) for a given RX • As worn correction for Rx ‘s permitted • A clarification was added to permit tolerancing of an RX to the as worn corrected value, • rather than the Rx as written by the Doctor. It reads “For lenses produced with • compensations to account for as worn correction, the tolerances in the tables in section • 5.0 apply to those values specified by the manufacturer, and not to the prescribed RX.” • Relaxation of Cyl Axis tolerance for weak cyls (first adopted in 2005, reaffirmed and adopted by ISO • Adoption ISO 8980-4&5 into ANSI Z80.1 -2010 • ISO 8980-4 (AR Durability test method) standard was adopted in full • ISO 8980-5 (Minimum Abrasion resistance if claimed) was also adopted in full. • If abrasion claims to a lens surface or surfaces are made, this test requirement must be satisfied.

Optician Association of America (OAA) “Zoomerang” response to Questions on power measurement practices – Dick Whitney (CZV) / Joe Dezenzo (Luxottica Retail) 5. ANSI Research for this revision – 5 min • The following set of slides were presented resulting from a study of Focimeter power measurement practices determined from a questionnaire that I developed and was circulated on line to the Optician Association of America (OAA). • The feedback from this study convinced the ANSI Z80.1 committee to change the standard to comply with these practices.
Optician Association of America (OAA) “Zoomerang” response to Questions on power measurement practices – Dick Whitney (CZV) / Joe Dezenzo (Luxottica Retail) 5. ANSI Research for this revision – 5 min • At a the Fall 2007 ANSI Z80 meeting, Dick Whitney agreed to work on a questionnaire to determine industry practices in power measurement. Joe Dezenzo (Luxottica Retail) volunteered to assist. • In Dec 2007, Dick drafted a set of questions and sent to Joe Dezenzo (Luxotttica) who agree to coordinate sending them out; Joe coordinated an on line “Zoomerang” internet questioning method.

Optician Association of America (OAA) “Zoomerang” response to Questions on power measurement practices – Dick Whitney (CZV) / Joe Dezenzo (Luxottica Retail) * Question 8: Do you use a computer to see if the lens meets your power tolerances?
Optician Association of America (OAA) “Zoomerang” response to Questions on power measurement practices – Dick Whitney (CZV) / Joe Dezenzo (Luxottica Retail) • 9.) Intended question: Do you tolerance both the sphere and cyl meridians along with the cyl, or just sphere and cylinder? • Just for review: <= Meridian 1 Image Meridian 2 Image Sphere image (equally focused lines) Cyl (written in Rx and displayed on automated focimeters) = Sum of Mer 1 and Mer 2 Measured values; it does not have an image!
Optician Association of America (OAA) “Zoomerang” response to Questions on power measurement practices – Dick Whitney (CZV) / Joe Dezenzo (Luxottica Retail) Question 9: What meridians / values do you tolerance?
Optician Association of America (OAA) “Zoomerang” response to Questions on power measurement practices – Dick Whitney (CZV) / Joe Dezenzo (Luxottica Retail) • Prescribed Rx: +0.25=-3.25 x 103 Measured Rx: +0.37= -3.18 x 103 Question 10: • Would you pass or fail this lens for power? • So which answer is correct? • The Answer is….
Optician Association of America (OAA) “Zoomerang” response to Questions on power measurement practices – Dick Whitney (CZV) / Joe Dezenzo (Luxottica Retail) • It depends on what tolerances / specifications you are using… Question 10: • Prescribed Rx: +0.25=-3.25 x 103 Measured Rx: +0.37= -3.18 x 103 • For those 67% who would pass the lens, they are using “common US Industry practice” and neither ANSI 1995 / 2005 or ISO 8980…
Here is how “Common US Industry practice” would have passed the lens: • Record prescribed RX: OD: +.25 = -3.25 x 103 • Measure fabricated RX: • Is sphere error > .13? • Absolute difference is .12, therefore sphere power acceptable • Is cyl error > .13? • Absolute difference is .07 and axis is 103 as prescribed, cyl is acceptable. • Therefore, the lens Passes for power inspection
Here is how one might fail the lens using ANSI standards since 1995 (~ISO) The lens fails ISO tolerances for a power that is not displayed on the Focimeter, but must be calculated. It is also a failure to ANSI Z80.1 because of strongest meridian error, but few labs ever apply this. It passes the common practice of tolerancing the sphere and cyl.
