Rigid contact lenses with eccentricity through manufacture can more or less influence visual correction or induce the corneal warpage. Therefore the fine detection of rigid contact lens eccentricity is needed and important. This study was aimed to design a system for lens eccentricity measurement by the principle of optical reflection. By using a standard concave mirror in the center of lens jig, the geometrical center of a lens could be detected accurately. It has solved the problem of lens distortion and breakableness attributed to the conventional method based on rotating reflection. The system is proved to be of practical method with good repeatability.
