This week I do my best to help you visualize the concept of slab-off. Slab-off is a prism technique used to correct vertical imbalance. Opticians will request slab off when the patient has anisometropia. We will work through the how and then do an actual calculation. It is through optician training that opticians learn the steps involved in solving for slab-off calculations. Slab-off is most often used on lined multifocal lenses but can be used on progressive and even single vision lenses also. Opticians using slab off calculations may need to determine the power in oblique meridians and apply the concept of the optical cross in their work.
