CL Reviewer Flashcards
he pioneered development of continuous wear of soft CL
John de Carte
he is considered to be father of RGP
Leonardo Seidner

Orlando Battista
first commercially available disposable lens
Danalens
he developed the first commercially available disposable lens
Michael Bay
first commercially available daily disposable CL
Johnson and Johnson
RGP stands for
Rigid Gas Permeable
PPMA stands for
Polymethyl-Methacrylate
he understood that better vision could be achieved by enlarging the retinal image
Rene Descartes
he proved that cornea played no part in the accommodative process
Thomas Young
he is considered as father of CL
Sir John Herschel
he is the first person to apply therapeutic contact device on the eye
William White Cooper
he devised the first CL for keratoconus
Eugene Kalt
limitations of keratometry
- Small area measured; periphery & apex not measured
- Assumes cornea is a spherical surface: accuracy is questionable
- Irregular topography not described specifically & sometimes undetected
the color that indicates the steepest curve in a corneal videokeratography
Red
CL design where in back surface has two curvature all throughout is
CL design wherein back surface has two curvature
gradual change in curvature from center to periphery of optic zone
Aspherical design
Lens-cornea relationship wherein the CL is more curved than the cornea
The eccentricity value of the apex of the cornea is roughly
0.50
TRUE about Reverse geometry design, EXCEPT:
a. central portion of lens is steeper than periphery
b. for post-surgical “plateu” topographies

d. range is 8.00 to 9.2mm
B
true about lens diameter of SCL except
a. larger than RGP
b. creates greater sag
