Eye lid going out. Not a candidate for CL, it will dry out, increase cause of infection.

Keratoplasty

Hyphema
Pooling of blood in anterior chamber
Basal Cell
Flatter bumps (Skin cancer) more severe
Squamous cell Carcinoma
More raised bumps (skin cancer) less severe
What does WTR CL lens with Fluoricene look like
Less fluoricene horizontal. It’s steeper vertical so the flurerince pools there
What does ATR with Cl and Fluoricene look like
Less Fluoricine vertical. It’s steeper horizontal so the fluorcince pools horizontally.
Steep fitting lens looks like?
Pooling in the centre and edge lift, air bubble. Not enough movement.
Flat fitting lens looks like?
No flurocine in the middle, lots of pooling in the peripheral. Too much movement.
What does a truncated lens look like? Used why?
A CL with the bottom cut off. Typically use for stabilization of bifocal or toric lens. Or prism.
What is fenestration?
It’s when we put three holes in a RGP so there’s more oxygen and tier exchange
