A tool designed to compute the power and parameters needed for contact lens prescriptions based on spectacle prescriptions and other measurements. This tool effectively translates data from a glasses prescription to a contact lens prescription, accounting for vertex distance and other factors specific to the eye’s surface.
The availability of such instruments is valuable for eye care professionals. They streamline the process of converting glasses prescriptions, minimizing potential errors, and saving time. The accuracy facilitates improved patient satisfaction and better vision correction outcomes. Historically, these calculations were performed manually, making automation a significant advancement.
