LARS stands for

• A. Left Add, Right Subtract
• B. Left Subtract, Right Add
• C. Left Add, Right Add
• D. Left Subtract, Right Subtract

Answer: (A)

LARS stands for Left Add, Right Subtract. This mnemonic is used to remember how to distribute lens powers between the two eyes during certain refraction and near-vision balance steps. By adding plus power to the left eye and subtracting power from the right eye, you create a binocular condition that helps assess accommodation and vergence together and determine a balanced, comfortable near correction. The other patterns aren’t the standard way this particular adjustment is remembered or applied in practice.
