Abstract :

The fitting of RGP contact lenses provides a gain in visual acuity of the patient that presents irregularities in the cornea, but these irregularities such as a fingerprint are different for each individual, so standard box cannot solve all cases. The purpose of the presentation is to show some changes from the test lens results for the patient. For example, setting the refractive index for back surface toric lenses or adjust the specific weight for centralization and other issues.
