14. A method for determining an auxiliary lens location for an eyeglass lens, comprising:
-
a) placing a pair of eyeglasses on a patient, the eyeglasses having a frame and a pair of lenses within the frame; b) applying an appliqué
on at least one of the eyeglass lenses, the appliqueé
including an outline of an auxiliary lens and a distance scale including a plurality of substantially straight lines spaced a predetermined distance from one another, each line extending across substantially the entire appliqué
, and the plurality of lines extending substantially from a top to a bottom of the appliqué
;c) adjusting placement of appliqué
based on feedback from the patient with respect to the location of the outline of the auxiliary lens;d) observing a scale on the appliqué
to determine a distance from the outline of the auxiliary lens to a perimeter of the eyeglasses frame; ande) recording the distance. - View Dependent Claims (17)
