Empirical Fitting Guide

Diameter Selection

  • Use the 14.5 diameter for normal-sized corneas
  • If a different diameter is desired, add 3.5 mm to the HVID to calculate the lens diameter

Base Curve Selection

  • Use the chart to select the base curve based on the diameter and average K reading

Power Determination

  • Use standard vertex adjustment to convert the spectacle Rx, or call our consultants and let us do it for you

Adjustments (when necessary)

  • When evaluating the fit of the lens, please provide our consultants with the following data:
    • Fit/movement (base curve evaluation)
    • Lens overlap (diameter evaluation)
    • Orientation, in 1° increments if possible
    • Over-refraction
  • We’ll calculate the Rx for you
