Effective Powers of Flexible Contact Lenses

Key Points

The research aims to compare predicted effective powers of flexible contact lenses with their actual effective powers.
Compared predictions of effective powers of flexible contact lenses including tear lenses and alignment.
Analyzed 12 low-minus and 2 high-plus lenses' equivalence to actual effective power.
The predictions assuming a tear lens increased accuracy.
Findings indicate a significant improvement in effective power predictions.

Abstract

Abstract Predictions of effective powers of flexible contact lenses including tear lenses, or assuming alignment, are compared with actual equivalent sphere effective powers of 12 low‐minus and 2 high‐plus lenses. The assumption of a tear lens improves accuracy of prediction.
