Both sphere and prism Press-on Optics can be applied to either part of or the entire lens. Avoid exposing Press-on opticsto dust, dirt or grease during application.

1) With a felt tip pen, mark the optical centre onto the lens. This is important with sphere placement only. The optical centre is the smallest concentric ring. The base orientation of the optic is indicated with the word ‘base’. Position the Press-On Optic with the optical centre aligned and the smooth side down facing the inside surface of the spectacles.

2a) If the lens is out of the frame; with scissors, cut the Press-On Optic to the size of the lens. With a razor blade held at the angle of the bevel, carefully trim the Press-on optic flush with the edge of the spectacle lens.

2b) If the lens is in a frame; with a felt tip pen, trace the lens onto the Press-On Optic
just inside the rim of the frame. Remove the Press-On Optic from the spectacle lens
and carefully cut out the Press-On Optic inside the line.
Note: the Press-On Optic, after cutting, must not overlap the bevel or touch the frame.

3) Wash the spectacle lens and the Press-On Optic with a weak solution of dish
washing detergent (free of lotion) to remove grease and dirt. Rinse thoroughly.
Submerge the spectacles and Press-On Optic in a bowl of warm water or under a
running tap. Wipe away any air bubbles clinging to either surface.

4) Reposition the Press-on Optics and remove the spectacles from the water, holding the Press-On Optic in place. Adjustments can be made by sliding the Press-On Optic. Press dry.

Note: when applying to a plastic lens, the Press-On Optic may be difficult to slide.
Repositioning may require removal and reapplication.

5) If the lenses are out of the frame, reinsert into the frame.

6) Inspect the edges to check no overlapping occurs onto the frames. Remove and reapply if dust or air bubbles are trapped between the Press-On Optic and the lens. Handle spectacles gently for 24hrs following application. Faint, grey patches that may develop are temporary and usually disappear as drying is completed.

Note: Alcohol is not recommended for repeated application of the optics.
