Without posting a base curve chart, we will generalize the base curve selection. We begin with a plano lens. The base curve would most likely fall around 6 base. Going in the plus Rx direction- the base curve goes “higher”: 7 base, 8 base, 10 base. Going in the minus Rx direction – the base curve decreases: 5 base, 4 base, 2 base, plano base.

Manufacturers offer multiple base curves and refractive indices. Calculating the most appropriate base curve goes beyond the common myth, “keep the same base curve” and standardized base curve charts. In this paper we will explore both the implications for visual acuity, and the practical applications of proper base curve selection. The base curve is the measurement of the inside curve of your contact lenses. As part of your contact lens exam, your optometrist will do a Keratometer reading. This assessment helps the optometrist measure the shape of your cornea. This reading will result in a “K-reading” number that will give your optometrist a starting place for Iim looking for a book, chart,etc that will give some general insight into the slection of Base Curves and thus ocular (back) curves which gives more comfortable vision for the patient depending on his/her prescription. I understand that in the past few years we gone away from the traditional curve charts in favor of the flatter European curves. Back to: Let’s Talk About Base Curves This lesson is under construction this week: 7/16/17 – 7/21/17. In optical theory it is said that the base curve is, “The curve from which all other curves are measured.”. In modern lens design we can think of the base curve as always being the front surface of the lens.

In modern lens design we can think of the base curve as always being the front surface of the lens. Each base-curve in a series is conventionally used for producing a range of prescription, as specified by the manufacturer. Manufacturers use base-curve selection charts that provide the recommended prescription ranges for each base-curve in the series.
