where can we get rgp fitting sets for our pqe exam?

and would we be expected to know about toric and bifocal rgp lenses for our exam? if yes what sort of detail?

I think you could argue it is beyond our scope of knowledge to know about RGP torics and Bifs (due to lack of experience) and some examiners would possibly fail you if you said you regularly fit these lenses.

Ask the company that you order from empirically now for a simple trial set (the suggested BOZR parameters used to be in the PQE handbook).

 

I would expect you to understand the theory of RGP torics and definitely soft torics, unlikely to ask about bifocals. We do not expect you to be a very experienced practitioner, just a safe one.
