1.1 Overview
The VX40 is an Automatic Lensmeter which provides a very accurate measure of
the refractive power of lenses and displays the spherical aberration, the cylindrical
properties and the axis of the lenses.
The Automatic Lensmeter also contains the P.D. (pupillary distance) measurement.
It can measure both uncut single lenses and framed glasses. Furthermore, it
provides automatic detection of multi-focal lenses.
This advanced next generation lens meter comes with an intuitive user interface to
enable the user to perform lens measurements simply and easily.
1.2 Scope
This manual contains information for the proper use, storage and maintenance of
the VX40, as well as important safety information.
For best results, before using the device, review this manual in its entirety and
become familiar with its contents.

9.3 Glossary of Terms
Term
Explanation
Pupillary Distance
Pupillary Distance (P.D.) or interpupillary distance (I.P.D.) is
the distance (the industry standard is to measure in
millimeters) between the centers of the pupils in each eye.
This measurement is used when preparing to make
prescription eyeglasses. Positioning lenses correctly in
relation to the center of the pupils is especially important for
higher powered lenses due to the location of the optical
center of the lenses. It can also be relevant to binoculars:
they must be adjusted to suit the user's I.P.D.; and the
minimum allowed by some binoculars is still too great for
people with a small I.P.D.
Spherical Aberration
An aberration that can occur in optical systems when rays
are traced after reflection.
Cylindrical Lens
A lens with one face a portion of the curved surface of a
cylinder
Reflection
The process occurring when light strikes the surface of
separation of two different media such that some is thrown
back into the original media.
