Knife-edge system for evaluating contact lenses (original) (raw)

Ophthalmic Technologies X, 2000

Abstract

ABSTRACT With the increasing complexity of contact lens designs and the demand on visual performance required by wearers, the ability to assess the design and optical quality of a contact lens is an important capability. While more complex systems such as Hartmann-Shack devices exist, practitioners often call for a simple, quick and inexpensive system that can provide the above functions. A simple optical system based on modifying the knife-edge test has been developed for assessing design and optical quality. Incorporation of a Badal-type lens layout added lens power measurement capability. This system provides the practitioner with the ability to undertake rapid visual assessment of a contact lens's quality.
