Fitting advice

  • Total diameter: = corneal diameter – 2.00 mm
  • Base curve:
    • ASP: r0 = Kflat (rcfl)
    • SMS:
      • ( rcfl – rcst) ≤ 0.30 mm -> BC = rcfl – 0.05
      • (rcfl – rcst) ≤ 0.40 mm -> rO = rcfl – 0.10
      • (rcfl – rcst) ≤ 0.50 mm -> rO = rcfl – 0.15
  • Flattening: ASP & SMS: eccentricity (En) = eccentricity of the cornea at 30° rounded up to the next 1/10

First contact lens choice

Progression system and central optic zone (Zoc)

Reading zone choice

Determine if the vision is alternate (change of optic zones by translation) or simultaneous (change of optic zones by visual cortex selection):

  • Alternate vision: reading zone in periphery (most of the cases)
  • Simultaneous vision: reading zone in centre
RequirementsBifocal BfSimple progressive Sp
Myopia Addition < 1.75 dpt
Myopia: Addition ≥ 1.75 dpt
Priority in distance vision
Priority in near visiondominant eyenon dominant eye
Good contrast
  • Distance vision depends on centering, near vision on the movement (translation).
  • For a good translation, a movement from 1 to 2 mm is needed. It is affected by rO and ØT.
  • The fluoroscopy must show good optic zone alignment. 

Central optic zone, position and diameter:

Recommendations for the 1st choice: standard pupil (3.50–4.00 mm) with normal lighting

For non standard pupil size or for distance/near preference, fit the Zoc in steps of 0.25 mm

Quality assurance

These materials are in conformity with the standard ISO 10993-1 defining the biocompatibility of materials.

SwissLens manufacturing process warrants this biocompatibility even after the manufacturing process, in particular without adding polish material. This standard is required by the quality assurance system of SwissLens.
