title: Improved lensometry with a programmed calculator-lensometer combination.
abstract: The arithmetic associated with prescription calculation seems to be the major source of error and inefficiency in the performance of traditional lensometry. We have found that a programmed calculator used in combination with a lensometer achieves greater accuracy in less time than does the lensometer alone. This approach may be a useful alternative to the physician who does not wish to make a substantial investment in a fully automatic device.
