Through the turn of the single reel—an ex-clusive Ski-optometer feature—all convexspherical lenses have now been attained inquarters up to , practically coveringninety percent of all refraction Fig. 5—With supplementary disk pointer set at -j- 6 Sph., this places an additional + spherical lens at sight opening, extending instruments total convex spherical power to + [5] Refraction and Muscular Imbalance Should still greater power be desired, thesmall pointer at the outer edge of the instru-ment should be set at +6 sphere (Fig. 5).This controls a supplementary disk (Fig. 3c)which places an additional +6D. lens beforethe original range of lenses previously referredto, thus increasing the maximum power to+ 12D. If still greater strength is required,any additional trial case lens may be added, acell being provided for that purpose on theforward plate of the instrument. Operates and Indicates Automatically As previously explained, in using the Ski-optometer, it is only necessary to rememberthat each outward turn of the single reeltoward the temporal side of the patient in-creases t
