    Amocon, has one (Contact Lens Diameter Guage) Part#JZ-8017 - $16.50

    (800)255-6161

    He's talkign about a channel in what looks like a PD stick that slowly gets narrower, you place your RGP in the groove and when it can't go no further you have your reading.

    Try I-Promotions, (Contact Lens Diameter Guage) CT-5628 $10.95

    (800)507-9379

    They may have them and the price is better anyways. Amocons web address is www.amconlabs.com and I-Promotions doesn't have one.

    If you can't find one the job can also be done with a measuring magnifier. Can also be done with a boly gauge.
