Dyer Nomogram for GP Lens Fitting
This is a nomogram developed by Dr. John Dyer. This nomogram can be used to come up with the initial fitting parameters for size, optical zone, base curve, intermediate, and peripheral curves.
- Use the flattest curve as the primary curve in the first table
- Use the cylinder power of the Rx to find the base curve on the first table that corresponds to the correct primary curve and cylinder power
- Use the base curve to look in the second table for the corresponding parameters
- To calculate power take the Rx and transpose it to minus cylinder
- Take the Rx and if over + or - 4.00D compensate the Rx for vertex distance
- For every 0.25D the base curve is over the primary curve add a 0.25D minus to the Rx
