Q

raising a GP lens

A
  • BC closer to on-K fit
  • increase diameter
  • decrease center thickness by 0.03mm
  • minus carrier lenticular to assist with lid attachment
  • flatten the peripheral curves to increased edge lift and lid attachment

16
Q

laterally displaced GP lens

A

its too flat. steepen the fit bit decreasing the BC, increased the OZD, or increasing the overall lens diameter. If this does not work, refit into a minus lens carrier lenticular edge design or a toric back surface design or add toric peripheral curves

17
Q

two main fitting philosophies for fitting RGPs

A
  1. lid attached

2. interpalpebral

18
Q

lid attached RGP fit

A

the edge of the GP Cl interacts with the superior eyelid margin; this is the most appropriate for patients whose superior eyelid sits at or below the limbus, and the eyelid has normal tension against the globe

19
Q

interpalpebral RGP fit

A

the edge of the RGP DOES NOT interact with either eyelid margin; this is most appropriate if the superior eyelid is located above the limbus or the patient has tight eyelids against the globe

20
Q

OAD fitting philosophy

A

consider the fitting philosophy and corneal curvature when determining the most appropriate OAD. an average OAD (9.4-9.6mm) is most appropriate for patients where the upper eyelid is located atop below the superior limbus (lid attachment). A smaller OAD is recommended fort patients who need an interpalpebral fit or have small interpalpebral fissures

21
Q

large OAD/OZDs

A

steepened the GPCL

22
Q

small OAD/OZD

A

flatten the GPCL

23
Q

for every 0.4mm increase (decrease) in the OAD/OZD

A

flatten (steepens) by 0.25D

24
Q

guidlines for fitting spherical RGPS

A

corneal astigmatism < 2.50D and acceptable residual astigmatism

25
fitting guidlines for front toric RGP
corneal astigmatism <2.50D and unacceptable residual astigmatism
26
fitting guidelines for back surface toric
corneal astigmatism >2.50D and spec astigmatism =1.5 x corneal astigmatism
27
fitting guidelines for bitoric lenses
corneal astigmatism >2.50D and spec astigmatism that does not equal 1.5x the corneal astigmatism
28
fitting guidelines for aspheric RGPs
consider in patients with ATR or borderline astigmatism or in patients who are hypercritical of their vision
29
higher amounts of corneal astigmatism and BC
steeper BC needed for adequate fit, the CT should be increased by 0.03mm with a steeper BC in order to minimize flexure
30
material of RGPs
higher Dk lenses have greater oxygen permeability but also more flexure; increase the CT by 0,03mm in order to minimize flexure. in general, high or hyper Dk lenses are indicated for extended wear, and low Dk lenses are acceptable for daily wear
31
BC guidelines
for a RGP with a 9.4mm OAD and lid attached fit - if corneal astigmatism is < or equal to 0.75D, fit 0.50D flatter than K; for every 0.50D increase in corneal astigmatism, steepen the BC by 0.25D until a biotic CL is necessary - because the cornea progressively flattens toward the periphery, selecting a BC that is flatter than K will result in greater alignment between GP CL and the cornea
32
watermelon seed effect
describes the phenomenon where the RGP is posed down and outward, most often due to tight upper lid tension -an improvement in a lid attachment fit or an interpalpebral fit will help to minimize this effect
33
how to achieve a lid attached fit
large and flat RGP
34
how to achieve an interpalpebral fit
small and steep GP
35
SAM FAP
describes how to change the power of a RGP to compensate for a change in the BC of the CL. Recall that every 0.05mm change in BC, the power should be adjusted by 0.25D
