Fitting Cross Method is a very simple and easy way to ensure the accuracy of the placement of our high quality eyeglass lenses into your frame. We generally start off using a pupilometer as a reference point for your pupilary distance. We then integrate this measurement onto the front side of the demo lens in the frame with a washable marker. The very first fitting cross begins as only a reference. We look at you right into the eyes and we can see where we have to start adjusting our measurements. When using a washable marker to do this system, we start at the front of the lens, do the second measurement on the inside of the demo lens, and then wash off the front surface. We keep switching from side to side until we get the fitting crosses exactly through the center of the pupils. We normally start off by doing the vertical measurements first, and get them accurate and documented. Then we add the horizontal measurement and then have you stand up and have them position your head in a normal comfortable position as if you were looking across the street or driving their vehicle. Once you are to be relaxed, we will then walk in front of you and take a look into your eyes to see if the horizontal measurement is correct. It is always nice to do this on your own existing eyeglasses first because you can see somewhat well through your own eyeglasses, and this gives us a great starting point. When doing your vertical lines, I don’t want you focusing on my nose because your eyes will be converging. Second of all, we have to have you stand up so that we can make sure that your head position is comfortable. We observe you in your normal head position with glasses you can already see with. Then when you go back to the demos, and we can compare head positions, as you can’t see through the demo lenses. The fitting crosses we have made on the demo glasses are verified for measurements once they fit properly through the center of your pupils.   © 1997-2008 VISIONFOREGOLFING.COM AND TIMED DESIGNS, INC.
