At Ackerson Eyecare, we use advanced lensometer technology to meticulously measure and verify the exact optical power of your physical lenses, an essential step in our strict quality control process for engineering high-performance glasses.

A lensometer is a specialized, highly accurate instrument used to read the precise prescription built into a physical pair of eyeglasses. Instead of guessing why an old pair of glasses isn’t working or assuming a new pair was manufactured flawlessly by a lab, this device allows us to measure the exact optical data inside the lens, including the sphere, cylinder, axis, and any specialty prism.

This technology plays an important role in the accurate measurement and quality control of:

• Verifying that your newly crafted glasses perfectly match our customized optical engineering before you ever put them on
• Analyzing old glasses or complex prescriptions brought in from outside clinics to establish your baseline optical data
• Measuring the exact dynamic contour prism placed into specialty Newton lenses (formerly Neurolens)
• Diagnosing vision struggles, headaches, or “seasick” sensations caused by improperly manufactured progressive lenses or generic reading glasses
• Troubleshooting performance issues for patients who have experienced rushed, uncalibrated optical care in the past

One of the biggest advantages of our lensometer technology is our unwavering commitment to precision and accuracy. We operate on the strict principle that “bad data will never produce high-performance glasses.” By taking the extra time to rigorously measure not just your eyes, but the physical tools of vision we provide, we ensure your customized eyewear is perfectly calibrated for your exact lifestyle and occupational needs.
