Optical Tests8.1 Optical
45、QualityLocalized power errors or aberrationsthat are detected by the visual inspection procedure of 8.1.1 arepermissible if no measurable or gross focimeter or telescopetarget distortion or blur is found when the localized area isexamined with an instrument as indicated in 8.1.2.8.1.1 Inspection Pro
46、cedureOne method of optical inspec-tion is to view a high-contrast grid pattern of dark and whitelines through the lens, scanning it area by area and moving itabout. The grid pattern should be at least 18 by 18 in. andconstructed of high contrast black lines on a white background(the white separatio
47、ns being equal to the black lines, both beingapproximately14 in. wide). The target should be at least 6 to 8ft from the observer, and the lens should be held at least 18 to24 in. from the eye.Any ripples in the lens detected by this testmethod should be further examined in accordance with 8.1.2.8.1.
48、2 The referee method of detecting optical defects andlocal aberrations is to scan the central viewing zone, especiallyareas of suspicion arising from the visual test of 8.1.1. The lensor shield should be scanned with a precision focimeter or an83 to 103 telescope using the targets and arrangementsde
49、scribed in 8.5.2. The aperture should be 5 to 7 mm for thisexamination. Areas outside the central viewing zone or within6 mm of the edge need not be tested. When the central viewingarea is scanned, there shall be no sudden jump, doubling, orblurring of the image greater than 0.08 diopters change inpower. Gradual variations in the central viewing zone shall bewithin the power imbalance tolerances. An optical focimeterwith electronic readout repeatable to 0.02 diopters is a satis-factory alternate method. These scanni
