Treatment Of Common Problems in Calibration Of Focimeter

1. Verification of non-linear error

The non-linear error is due to the over-correction of the instrument software or other abnormal reasons, the measurement values given by the lens meter in different axial directions of the lens are inconsistent, and the displayed values change irregularly. To put it simply, when the lens meter measures the astigmatism lens or the ball-cylindrical combination lens, the cylinder power values displayed on different axes are different, and there is a deviation, and the error is asymmetrical. At present, there are many non-linear indicators of domestic automatic focusmeters in the market that cannot meet the requirements. In order to pass the metrological verification, some focusmeter manufacturers have adopted abnormal software correction methods to artificially adjust the vertex power indications to match those of standard lenses. The nominal value of is exactly the same, so that the nonlinear error is zero. For this abnormal situation, the test personnel must treat it with caution, and cannot easily conclude that the nonlinear error is qualified.

2. Verification of spherical mirror power indication error

Put the standard lenses one by one on the lensometer support, and perform the verification when the cross cursor is turned on at the center of the lensometer display. When verifying some domestic brands of auto-focusmeters, the author found that for standard lenses with larger nominal values, the cross cursor of the instrument does not open at the center of the display screen, but at a place far away from the center. . In this case, it must not be easy to simply interpret the indication error of the spherical power.

3. Selection of lens holder
The automatic lens meter is usually equipped with two lens holders, one is used to detect the vertex power of ordinary spectacle lenses, and the regulations stipulate that the aperture of the holder should be (5-9) mm; the other is used to detect the vertex of contact lenses. Focus, the regulations stipulate that the aperture of the support should be 4.5mm. Since there is not much difference by visual inspection, it is inevitable to cause confusion and misuse when using. Due to the change of the light-transmitting aperture, a vector height error is generated, and the reading of the vertex power also changes greatly, resulting in an out-of-tolerance error of the indication value. Therefore, in the verification of the focal meter, if it is found that all the indication errors of the focal meter are out of tolerance, it is necessary to check whether the wrong lens holder is used, or use a caliper to quickly measure the aperture size of the holder before starting the verification.
