what is the rule for tinted glasses? when should they be used
|
1. sunglasses for bright outdoor conditions should be 10-20% T
2. lenses with T<8% should NOT be used for driving 3. NO TINT should be used for night driving |
|
what is anisometropia
|
1. different dioptric power in each eye
2. risk factor for amblyopia based on refractive error |
