Walk through a “brain-teaser” prism question. We take a real world prescription and pair of glasses and create an error in the as worn position. Solving for the final correct answer is a multi-step process that requires some time, patience and visualization skills. If you can figure out a question like this you can handle anything the ABO might throw at you.

This question is similar to one found in our American Board of Opticianry ABO test question bank. We take a real world prescription and pair of glasses and create an error in the as worn position. Opticians often use Prentice’s Formula to solve for prism problems. Solving for the final correct answer is a multi-step process that requires some time, patience and visualization skills. With optician training you can determine prism amount, prism direction and resultant prism. Working this problem through will help you study to prepare for the ABO exam.
