Q

RGP parameters and rule of thumb:

A

TD 2mm less than cornea (9-9.8mm)
- BOZD (7.0-8.5) increases with TD, must be 1.5mm larger than pupil
BOZR (7.80-7.70mm)
- Fit to flattest (greater value) K meridian
- Increased by 0.5mm per 1DC
- If >2.5DC, consider toric back surface
BVP: 0.05mm increase in BOZR from corneal curvature = 0.25D tear lens power
- Tear lens power - refractive error
Design/brand/Material
Centre/edge thickness
ALTERING LENS PARAMETERS RULE OF THUMB (to retain stain pattern)
- Increasing BOZD by 0.5 requires flattening BOZR by 0.05
- Flattening (increasing) BOZR by 0.05 decreases tear power by 0.25

Q

Clinical management of phoria:

A

Sheards criterion > Opposing fusional reserve must be at least twice the phoria
- If 6 exo
- PFV > 12 BO, phoria is compensated
- PFV = 8 BO, a 2 BI lens in required (is now a 4PD exo)
Percival’s criterion > PFV+NFV = 10
- PFV ~20 BO
- NFV ~ -10 BI

11
Q

Incomitant deviation clinic:

A

Hx:
Diplopia: U/new acquisition
- Horizontal/vertical
Amblyopia: U/new
Head position change: U/long standing
1. Cover test: measure deviation of each eye while the other if fixing > Greater deviation in non paretic eye (herring’s law of equal innervation)
2. Hess screen: R/G dissociation > R fixation and G pointer > Px marks where the fixation light is
1. Smaller chart is parietic eye
2. Degree of disparity gives angle of deviation
3. Parks 3 step: determines parietic muscle from Rectus or Oblique muscles
1. Which is hyper (Hyper eye’s IR/SO, or Hypo eye’s IO/SR)
2. Worse on R/L gaze (Gaze’s IR/SR, or opposite’s IO/SO)
3. Worse on R/L tilt (Tilt’s SR/SO, or opposite’s IO/IR)

11
Q

Dissociated phoria tests:

A

Cover-uncover:
- Tropia > uncovered eye moves
- Phoria > covered eye moves when uncovering
Alternating cover:
- Determines degree of phoria
Phi phenomenon: subjective
Prism cover test:
- amount of prism required to remove phoria or tropia
Maddox rod: Vertical streak (horizontal phoria) or horizontal streak for vertical
- Used in case of suppression
- Eso if Px sees line left of light source
Vone graefe: 6BU and 15BI
- Decrease horizontal OR vertical to determine horizontal or vertical phoria
Howel phoria card

12
Q

DED management:

A

DEWS step 1:
- Educate: DED lifelong
- Environment (masks, computer time)
- Diet change
- Cease offending medications
- Ocular lubricants
- Lid hygiene, warm compress
- 45’ towel, reheated every 2 mins for 10 mins
Step 2:
- Non-preservative tears
- Tea-tree oil for demodex
- MG expression
- short term cortico.
- FML QID shown to reduce symptoms and increase goblet density
- Immunomodulatory drugs
- Ciclosporin to prevent T-cell activation
Step 3:
- Autologous serum drops
- BCL
- Soft > comfort
- RGP scleral > tear repository
Step 4:
- Long term cortico.
