Optician Rx Specification & Quality Verification
Analyze Rx, generate lab specs, verify lens quality against prescription standards
What You Can Do
This skill systematizes prescription analysis, lab specification generation, and quality verification for optician lab technicians. You input prescriptions in any format, and Claude validates accuracy, identifies potential errors before production, converts specs into unambiguous manufacturing instructions, and creates verification protocols for finished lenses. Each stage—intake, analysis, specification generation, and QA—follows a structured process to catch prescription errors early, reduce rework, and ensure compliance with ANSI Z80.1 standards.
Features
interpret multiple notation styles (sphere-cylinder, power vector, different software formats) and convert to standard lab specifications
identify prescription inconsistencies, power range anomalies, axis errors, and base curve mismatches before production begins
produce unambiguous manufacturing instructions including power, axis, diameter, base curve, coatings, tint, and special requests
validate finished lenses against optical standards, tolerance ranges, and quality thresholds
document all conversions, corrections, and verification steps for quality control and liability protection
generate lab-ready job tickets with clear hierarchy of information for production and QA teams
flag patterns indicating systemic issues (recurrent errors, specific prescriber mistakes) to improve processes
Example Output
Example 1: Prescription Intake & Validation
Input: Optometrist prescription: OD: -2.50 -0.75 x 180, OS: -3.25 sph, PD 62mm
Output:
- ✓ OD power within normal range (-6.00 to +6.00)
- ✓ OS axis not specified (spherical correction)
- ✓ PD acceptable for standard frames
- Lab Specification: OD -2.50 -0.75 x 180 (6-base prism ready), OS -3.25 sph, 62mm PD, standard 1.5 base curve
Example 2: Error Detection & Flagging
Input: Prescription received: OD: -0.50 -12.00 x 045
Output:
- ⚠ HIGH CYLINDER POWER WARNING: -12.00 D cylinder exceeds typical lab capabilities; verify with prescriber
- ⚠ Axis value unusually low (045 vs standard 000-180); confirm notation system used
- Recommendation: Contact prescriber before cutting
Example 3: Final QA Verification
Input: Finished lens measurements (OD): Power -2.52 sph, -0.73 x 179
Output:
- ✓ Power tolerance: -2.52 vs spec -2.50 (within ±0.12 D)
- ✓ Cylinder tolerance: -0.73 vs spec -0.75 (within ±0.12 D)
- ✓ Axis tolerance: 179 vs spec 180 (within ±2°)
- ✓ PASS: Ready for dispensary
