Description
Although prescribing high adds and hand-held magnifiers requires math, it can be straightforward. Multiple examples illustrate how to calculate appropriate add and magnifier powers to enable patients to read their desired print size. The course also explains a method for measuring the dioptric power of hand-held magnifiers.
