This application describes a kit of contact lenses comprising two or more contact lenses having a known higher order aberration for each given lens power. By way of example, the higher order aberration may comprise a spherical aberration, a coma aberration, or a trefoil aberration. A practitioner selects a lens from the kit and applies the lens to a patients eye and measures a residual higher order aberration of the lens-eye system. In cases where the residual higher order aberration exceeds a predetermined magnitude, the practitioner selects a second lens from the kit, applies the second lens to the patients eye and measures the residual higher order aberration of the lens-eye system.
