Mr
I would appreciate if the developers could shed some light on this.

This app provides precise progressive lens measurements using an iPad, eliminating the need for traditional marking dots. It offers advanced features like multi-posture PD measurements, frame selection assistance, and detailed optical data for accurate lens fitting. It's a cost-effective solution for opticians seeking advanced technology.

I really like the new automatic view selection! I hope you do too. New features in this version: - If you have a Lidar scanner (iPad Pro 2 and up), then the app can automatically distinguish between a front, left or right side view, by using the distances of the different parts of the images from the iPad. For example, a left side view has the left side of the image far away, and the right side of the image is closer. The automatic view selection can be switched off in settings. - Changed the buttons on the bottom toolbar so there is now a quick "take a front view" button and a quick "take a near view" button. The original menu button is the third from the right. Bug fixes: - Fixed a bug where the vertex distance was just using the default 40cm rather than the Lidar measured distance. - Fixed a bug that caused a crash when importing a job created in version 1.61. - Fixed bugs around recording the depth and depth location.

Optical Dispensing Assistant 1 Upgrade
This special upgrade pricing is only available if you have had Optical Dispensing Assistant version 1 installed. You will not have any measurement limit.
MoreOptical Dispensing Assistant 2 is used by opticians to take precise progressive lens measurements for clients. It helps determine accurate pupil distances (PDs) in various postures and measures other crucial optical parameters like pantoscopic tilt and vertex distance.
No, Optical Dispensing Assistant 2 primarily uses an iPad and its built-in camera and sensors. While an iPad Pro is recommended for optimal performance, the app works with any iPad model.
The app leverages the iPad's gyroscope, accelerometer, and LIDAR (if available) for accurate alignment. It uses specific knowledge of iPad cameras to ensure near PDs are calculated precisely, combining results from multiple images for a single, accurate outcome.
Yes, the app can be used as an electronic mirror to help clients choose frames. You can record multiple images of the client wearing different frames, allowing them to visualize their choices.
Optical Dispensing Assistant 2 offers monthly, six-month, and yearly subscription plans. These subscriptions renew automatically, and free trial periods are available for each tier.
This app eliminates the need for manual marking dots on lenses and the reliance on precise physical positioning. It automates and enhances the accuracy of measurements, offering a more efficient and precise workflow for dispensing progressive lenses.
Optical Dispensing Assistant 2 is designed for iPads. All iPad models, except for the original iPad 1 without a camera, are supported.
No, Optical Dispensing Assistant 2 does not contain advertisements. The app is ad-free, allowing for an uninterrupted user experience.
