CL_Test2 Flashcards
Name good candidates for GP Lens

- FTW
- Critical observers due to improved vision
T/F
OZD is larger in GP lens compared to spherical lens
False
Name the two benefits in fitting GP lens diagnostically
- Higher initial success
2. Fewer re-orders
Name some paramaters for selecting lens diameter on GP lens
OAD: avg is 9.20-9.50mm
OZD: avg is 7.80 - 8.40mm
HVID-2.3mm
Consider lid aperture size and/or pupil size
What is the trend in fitting flat and steep corneas with GP lens?
Flat, hyperopic corneas = Fit with larger OAD
Steep, myopic corneas = Fit was smaller OAD
Name two practical applications for the use of burton lamp
Viewing:
- Kids
- Obese pts
What is a big disadvantage to the usage of anesthetic when fitting GP lens?
It does not allow doctor to observe the freak out factor
Name the three fitting philosophies
- Lid attachment
- Interpalpebral
- Modified lid attachment
Describe central clearance or central cooling/
Apical clearance or apical pooling
The lens is fit STK
Describe central bearing or central touch;
Apical bearing or apical touch
The lens is fit FTK
Describe central alignment
Minimal apical clearance MAC.
How do you describe the mid-periphery patterns?
Clearance
Bearing(touch)
Alignment
How do you describe peripheral clearance(aka pooling, edge lift)?
Minimal/inadequate
Moderate/Medium
High/Excessive
What do you need to consider if your over-refraction is greater than or equal to 4.00D?
VERTEX DISTANCE
What is the minimum information needed for RGP ordeirng
OAD BCR Power Material Color
What is and what does it stand for:
F-S/A
Fluoro-Silicone Acrylate
It is a type of material
Categorized in low D/k and high D/k
GO through the summary of Diagnostic Fitting GP - steps:
- Select lens diameter
- Select BCR (initial)
- Evaluation
- Perform Spherical Over-refraction
Look over BENNETT BASE CURVE RADIUS
Spherical to low cyl: FTK
Mod cyl: On K
High Cyl: STK
What are the components in evaluating a lens fit?
- Fitting philosophy
- Lens position
- NaFl Pattern
What is the common power of Diangostic lenses
-3.00D
What is another term for Peripheral Curve Radius (PCR)
Tertiary Curve Radius
What happens if you steepen the BCR
You get a positive tear lens and SAM
What does SAM stand for
Steeper add Minus
T/F
0.10mm increment change to BCR; change the power by 0.50D
True.
THis is an approximation
Use conversion chart or convert mm to D to be exact
In what increments do you modify BCR
0.10mm increments
The smallest that can be made is: .05
Manipulating BCR parameters:
Flattening vs Steepeining?
Flatter BCR to loosen the fit(Increase in mm, decrease in D)
Steepen BCR to tighten the fit
In what increments do you modify OAD
0.50 increments
Smallest change: 0.30 smallest sig change
Which two CLs paramaters operate together
- OAD
2. OZD
T/F
A larger OAD and/or OZD increases the sag ht?
True
How do you maintain the same fitting relationship b/w OZD and BCR
Flatten BCR by 0.05 while increased OZD by 0.50
Which two CLs parameters are dependent on pupil size
- OZD
2. OAD
In what increments do you modify PCR
Modify in 1.0 mm increments
0.50 smallest significant change
In what increments do you modify PCW
Modify in 0.20 increments
Smallest change: 0.10mm
Talk about Blend
Usually don't specify Anticipate medium Remove debris Loosen fit Eliminate bearing Factor in patient comfort
Edge: CN bevel and + lenticular are good for…..
High minus Cls that are greater than -5.00D
It makes the thicker edges thinner and more comfy for pt
Edge: (-) lenticular are good for….
Low minus, less than 1.50D and plus lenses
T/F
Lenses around plano are shaped like a plus lens
True
What is the ideal edge fit?
It is smoothly tapered with apex 1/2 to 2/3rds posterior
Name some advantages for fitting GP lens
Quality of vision Safety-Microbial keratitis is more likely for SCL Long term comfort Ease of care Durability Profitability Patient loyalty
What are some disads for GP lens
Initial comfort
Intermittent wear
Dust will mess it up
What is the main disadvantage for GP lens
Its initial discomfort
This is the biggest factor
How does An increase in oxygen permeability affect wettability?
It decreases wettability.
As u go higher in oxygen permeability, lens stability also decreases
T/F
Today, we are not as considered about oxygen permeability and wettability
True.
Name the four different types of materials?
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)
Cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB)
Silicone/Acrylate (S/A)
Fluoro-Silicone Acrylate (F-S/A)
Downside of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)
Low oxygen permeability
Wettability was real good tho
Ad and disad of cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB)
Increased oxygen perm
Scarates easily
Warpage
Obsolete
Tell me about Polycon II
Silicone-Acrylate Dk 12 Manufacturer is Paragon It provides good oxygen permeab compared to predecesors Has good durability
Tell me about Fluoroperm 30
Material: F-S/A
Dk: 30
Manufact: Paragon
What is considered low Dk for F-S/A
50 and below
What is so special about Menicon Z
Dk = 175
Sometimes referred to as a hyper Dk lens
