RGP Lens Fitting Guide
This calculator implements the Mandell-Moore bitoric design principles [citation:8] and vertex compensation formulas recommended by the GP Lens Institute. Proper RGP fitting requires consideration of corneal toricity, lid position, and patient-specific ocular characteristics[citation:9].
Key Features
- Vertex distance compensation (12mm standard)
- Corneal toricity analysis
- Bitoric vs spherical design detection
- BOZR calculation based on K-values
RGP Fitting FAQs
When use bitoric vs spherical design?
Bitoric designs are recommended for corneal toricity >3.00D [citation:9]. Our calculator automatically detects this threshold from K-readings.
How accurate are vertex adjustments?
Power adjustments follow SAM/FAP rules (Steeper Add Minus, Flatter Add Plus) with 0.25D compensation per 0.50D base curve change[citation:9].
What’s the optimal lens diameter?
9.2mm is standard, but consider lid position and HVID measurements for custom fits[citation:9].
How handle residual astigmatism?
For residual astigmatism >1.25D, front toric designs with prism ballast are recommended[citation:9].
