How finely can the fit of RGPs be tuned.

Have just been fitted with a RoseK2 RGP contact lens for my weaker KC eye. Overall the comfort and performance of the lens is pretty good; still building up my wear time. I do notice if I very slightly nudge the lens at its bottom (6 o'clock position) to one side that my vision sharpens even more. After 3-4 seconds the lens settles back to its original position. I assume this has something to do with the fit and I just wonder if my optician will be able to make any adjustment to the fit or otherwise to give me that extra 10% acuity? I'm I expecting too much?

Would be interested to know others experiences?

Thanks,
Russ

My optometrist noticed my soft lens was sitting at a degree out or something similar to what you're saying and she ordered a new one which did make quite a bit of difference! Mine weren't RGP's, but there's hope... make sure you ask them next time.

Thanks, I will certainly ask. I think soft lenses do have timing marks to check that they are sitting correctly, but not sure about RGPs.
