Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 9337-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 172, Optics and photonics, Subcommittee SC 7,
Ophthalmic optics and instruments.
ISO 9337 consists of the following parts, under the general title Contact lenses — Determination of back

Annex A
(normative)

Determination of back vertex power of contact lenses immersed in saline
A.1 Scope
This annex specifies a method for determining the back vertex power of soft contact lenses immersed in
saline using: (1) the Moiré deflectometer and (2) the Hartmann method.
A.2 Principle
The Moiré deflectometer is a quantitative instrument for mapping ray deflections of a beam passed through
or reflected off a test object. The technique is based on the Moiré effect, a phenomenon that causes a fringe
pattern to appear when two gratings are placed at a small angle to each other. The fringe pattern is detected
by a CCD camera and digitized. Digital information relating to the fringe pattern is relayed through the electro-
optical interface to the control software for analysis. The resulting image is displayed on a visual display unit.
The system is calibrated so that when there is no contact lens in the cuvette, the beam is collimated and
straight vertical fringes are observed. When a contact lens is inserted in the cuvette, the fringes deviate from
the vertical. The laser light source is tr
