Abstract
In the present investigation, a scientific procedure was developed, and a mathematical model was proposed, with the objective of determining, under standard conditions, the uncertainty, and the measurement of dioptric power in ophthalmic lenses. The methodology of the scientific procedure is based on the fundamentals of geometric optics, this process guarantees and establishes a standardized uncertainty measure in repeatable and reproducible processes. The methodology is complemented with a proposed mathematical model based on the guide for the expression of uncertainty in measurement - GUM. This model can be applied to lenses used for calibrating eye care equipment (such as lensometers, which are used to diagnose myopia and farsightedness) by evaluating the lenses without having direct contact with patients. When the proposed mathematical model was applied, its experimental result was a maximum expanded uncertainty of ± 0.0079 diopters in a 0.5-diopter lens. This is optimal compared to the result of other authors this article, who reported a maximum expanded uncertainty of ± 0.0086 diopters. In conclusion, the application of this scientific procedure provides manufacturers and users of this type of lenses with a reliable measurement thanks to a calibration process based on geometrical optics and centered on patient safety.
