French term or phrase: décentrement vers le bas
Still on my lens docment - why are these short texts always the trickiest?!

This is now talking abour framing recommendations:


• 1mm de décentrement vers le bas par rapport au centre de la pupille par 2° d’inclinaison de la monture

I even wear glasses but I can't think how to describe this, even though I can picture the optician doing it at the fitting.

Many thanks for your suggestions as ever!

neutral  Tony M: According to position, the optical axis of the eye needs to be always normal to the plane of the lens, so that the later is tangential to a sphere around the eye; the ideal lens would be spherical, but then it wouldn't correct!

decentering downwards/decentration downwards


Explanation:
Well, it took a while to work this one out, so please excuse all the refs, but I think they are relevant:

Le tableau ci-dessous indique le décentrement d nécessaire pour que l'aberration chromatique latérale ait une influence manifeste sur le confort visuel.
Exemples (DL = - 5.00 D)
Minéral Nombre d'Abbe Décentrement maximum Organique Nombre d'Abbe Décentrement maximum
1.523
Stigmal 15 Essilor 59 11.8 mm 1.498
Clarlet 15 Zeiss 58 11.6 mm
1.6
Stigmal 16 Essilor 42 8.4 mm 1.6
Eyas Hoya 42 8.4 mm
1.7
Fit 40 Essilor 40 8.0 mm 1.59
Airwear Essilor 32 6.4 mm
1.8
Rodalent 18 Rodenstock 34.4 6.9 mm 1.67
Clarlet 1.67 AS Zeiss 32 6.4 mm
Nous noterons, dans les exemples ci-dessus, que ce décentrement d est pratiquement deux fois moindre pour le polycarbonate par rapport au CR39. Si nous effectuons ce même calcul pour une vergence de -1 .00 D, nous obtenons 59 mm de décentrement pour le crown d'indice 1.523.

When a spectacle lens is tilted about a
horizontal axis in front of the eye, by the
value of the pantoscopic angle, the optical
centre of the lens needs to be decentred
downwards, in order to compensate for the
tilt, allowing the optical axis of the lens to
pass through the eye’s centre of rotation. It
goes without saying, that if we decentre a
lens horizontally, for example, to ensure
that there is no horizontal prismatic effect

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Kate - was wondering whether to simply say "1 mm below the centre of the pupil per 2 degrees of frame inclination" but maybe that's too simplistic?
