English term or phrase: push plus
"One of the hallmark rules of refracting that every optometry student learns during the first week of school is to 'push plus'. Give the patient the most plus they can handle during the exam. The only problem is that, in the real world, it’s just plain wrong."

forçar ao máximo


Explanation:
Literalmente a expressão seria "empurrar mais". Como se trata de um exame optométrico, me ocorreu que poderia ser usado uma expressão semelhante. Também me ocorre que poderia ser "exigir o máximo". Mas nenhuma certeza.

When measuring to uncover latent hyperopia, one may perform a cycloplegic refraction or "push plus," that is, during a noncycloplegic refraction, give as much plus spherical power as the patient will tolerate without causing blurring or discomfort.

Figura 5 – Imagem ilustrativa de um conoide de Sturm. O poder refrativo de uma LIO tórica é dado pelo poder refrativo esférico mais o seu adicional cilíndrico. Desta maneira, uma LIO de 20,0 D de poder refrativo esférico com 3,0 D de adicional cilíndrico é geralmente representada como 20,0 D + 3,0 D.
