Frequently Asked Questions
Vertex distance is the distance between the back surface of a spectacle lens and the front surface of the cornea. It typically ranges from 10-15 mm. Adjusting for vertex distance is crucial for accurate contact lens power calculation, especially for high prescriptions.
Spectacle lenses sit at a distance from the eye, while contact lenses sit directly on the cornea. The difference in vertex distance changes the effective power of the lens, especially for prescriptions above ±4.00 diopters. This calculator provides the correct contact lens power.
For high prescriptions (e.g., above ±6.00 D), the vertex distance adjustment becomes more significant. This calculator handles any value, but always consult with an eye care professional for final prescription.
