Fitting procedure
1.
Take Topography or Keratometry measurement
2.
Check Lid position and Lid tonus
3.
Low Lid position and weak lid tonus = Prismatic system
4.
Normal Lid position and strong lid tonus = dynamic or bi-prismatic
system
5.
Fit Silicone Hydrogel 0,6 to 0,8 mm flatter than the flat Meridian (for
OAD 14,5 mm)
6.
Fit Hydrogel 0,8 to 1,2 mm flatter than the flat Meridian (for OAD 14.5
mm)
7.
Check centration, stabilisation axes and movement (0,5 to 1 mm )

2. Contact Lenses for Astigmatism
•
Understand over lens refraction
measurement
•
Demonstrate new contact lens power
calculations with professional software
Overrefraction
Back-toric rigid lenses induces a specific refractive
astigmatism of -0.25 dpt per 0.10 mm radii
differences in the steep meridian.
-0.25 on eye/tears
-0.75 in air
Example :
FIT 7.75 / 7.55 = 0.20 mm = - 0.50 dpt in 90°
Overrefraction
1. Use defined (back, peripher) toric trial lens
until you have a perfect fit, centration and
stabilization
2. Measure stabilization axes
3. Measure the residual ametropia and
astigmatism
4. Measure vertex distance
5. Use calculation software
How to calculate the final power ?
Use existing calculation software.
