MT1 CL2 Flashcards
Regular Astigmatism
Meridians are 90 degrees apart
Ways to stabilize SCL
Prism ballast, peri-ballast, dual slab off, truncation, toroidal back surface
How is CL different for myope
less sphere and cylinder
how is CL different for hyperope
more sphere and cylinder
What are ranges for cyl
.75 to 2.25. Go up in .50 steps.
Prism ballast
Allows the watermelon effect (the lens to squeeze CL down with upper eyelid). Have 1-1.50 BD.
Peri Ballast
Prism lens with prism taken from central.
Double Slab off
Only prism left in the central portion. The top and bottom edges are very thin. Lids stabilize. Overall thinner lens. use with tight lids or small fissures.
Truncation
have a small amount of prism ballast and cut the edge off. This is a last resort as poor comfort.
Back surface toric
Tori on back of lens. Done to line up with patient;s own astigmatism to stabilize.
How much rotation is one clock hour?
30 degrees of rotation
Young
First to describe astigmatism in his own eye
Donders
First to study and classify different RE conditions. I.e. myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism.
Typical axis in dx set
Full circle in 10 degree steps.
What will a SCL do that a GP lens will not
neutralize lens cyl. GP only neutralizes cornea cyl.
Are patient very sensitive to axis good SCL topic wearers?
NO.
How do SCL normally Ride
Temporal. Due to nasal sclera being slightly more elevated
Affects of SCL decenterization
Optic center not in correct place.
Normal corneal diameter
11.8 mm
Scleral drop of torics
Typically 1.25. Want more stabilization
When to vertex
If above 4 D
How to allows go about correcting the astimatism
UNDER correct
Cause of decreased vision if marker at 6 o’clock
RE, overtaxing errors, lens draping effect, cylinder masking, Tear lens effects.
Induced astigmatism and rotation
increases with amount of degrees rotated.
What is SCORx not repeatable
Suspect a poor fit, everted lenses, switched lenses.
The aging eye
reduced tear production, loss of contrast, reduced transparency of lens and cornea, decreased pupil size, increased lid flaccidity, inability to cope with reduced light, reduction in retinal sensitivity, greater visual expectation.
What RE epidemiology change do we see with aging
more hype ropes.
Presbyopic options
Single vision lenses with near add, mono vision, center near design, center distance design, segmented design, concentric CD design.
How many presbyopes use the Distance CLs and reading glasses?
43%
how much of the population does mono vision work for?
70%
which eye is which with monovision
dominant eye=distance
nondominant=near
Criticism of monovision
decreased stereopsis, decreased depth perception, legal consideration
Poor monovision
amblyopes, topic SCL wearers, critical visual requirements.
swinging plus test
give them +1.50 and see which is more comfortable.
what are complaints with failing monovision
decrease in stereopsis or ghost images at distance
Are new or previous CL wearers more successful with monovision
Those that have previous experience
Does add factor into success of monovision
no
Modified Monovision
Center distance for distance and center near for near. Vision is 20/30 at distance i near instead of 20/60.
Who does simultaneous vision work best for
Younger is better. Older cannot filter out (above 48)
Pupil size of 50
3.5
Pupil size and simultaneous vision
If pupil too small may not be able to see more than one zone
Where is line of sight in eye
nasal to geometric center.
Decentered Optics
Let lens go where CL with go and put optics up and 1 mm nasal. Will get perfect vision.
Multifocal for myopia
Distance in middle and near out. Works great with their large pupil. Use decentered optics.
What happens as keratoconus increases
Cornea thins and have an increase in myopia and regular or irregular astigmatism.
Is teratology more common in M or F
Equal
When does keratoconus normally begin
12 to 32
How many patient with KC undergo transplatn
10%
