Irregular superficial corneal opacities

A

Majority occur down from geometric center. Scaring=breaks in bowman.

61

A

UV protection, NSAIDS, allergy meds, best cl fit.

63

A

Identify the mean K and add 1.0 mm.

81
Q

A

Soft skirt with hard front.

82
Q

Calculating scleral lens saggiato depth

A

84
Q

Piggy back lens and staining in KC

A

85
Q

Ideal fit for GP

A

.75D to 1D WTR astigmatism

86
Q

A GP spherical lens on a >2D topic cornea

A

Will have poor vision, poor contraption, lens flexure, stable fit, lens rocking on flat, corneal dessication

87
Q

Topography of good astigmatism with GP toric

A

want limbus to limbus.

88
Q

GP flexure on topic conrnea

A

will have inconsistent VA.

89
Q

Spectacle blur and GP

A

Spherical lens on topic cornea will mold the cornea and create less cylinder.

90
Q

When to consider topic GP

A

Significant amount of cornea toxicity or significant residual astigmatism.

91
Q

Topic GP options

A

Spherical power effect, cylindrical power effect, base curve topic, front surface topic, thin flex

92
Q

Spherical power effect lens

A

Biotic. Compensating power on front surface. Back surface for a good fit.

93
Q

When to pick Spherical power effect

A

corneal toxicity greater than 2. Residual astigmatism .75 to 1 with spherical GP. Corneal toxicity is equal to spectacle astigmatism (can rotate)

94
Q

Lens rotation and spherical power effect

A

Behaves like a spherical lens. Tear lens compensates for rotation.

95
Q

Advantages to spherical power effect

A

good for highly toxic. But expensive and many parameters to specify.

96
Q

How to know if a SPE lens

A

If change in BC=change in CL power

97
Q

If same meridian cylinder in OR

A

add to the power of steep meridian or add sphere if indicated. No longer a SPE design.

98
Q

Cylinder Power Design

A

Topic back surface and toric front surface. The front surface is greater than the back.

99
Q

Measurements with SPE

A

toxicity in lensometer=toricity in radiuscope

100
Q

Is toxicity in lensometer equal to toxicity in radarscope with CPE

A

NO.

101
Q

When to use CPE

A

Corneal toxicity greater than 2D. Corneal cylinder is not equal to refractive cylinder.

102
Q

Is stability important with CPE

A

YES.

103
Q

CPE is identical to SPE but

A

Compensating for residual astigmatism by adding extra cylinder in steep meridien.

104
Q

Base Curve Toric

A

Spherical front surface. Topic back surface

105
Q

When to use base curve topic.

A

Corneal toxicity greater than 2D. Refractive cylinder 1.5X greater than corneal topic or with non flexing spherical GP reveal residual cylinder (.75D or greater). No compensating optics on front surface for induced astigmatism or residual astigmatism.

106
Q

Base curve topic and acuity

A

Most pt. will not get optimal acuity. Relies on CL and tear lens to induce a minus cylinder. However, induced cylinder rarely corrects the residual.

107
Q

What relationship should refractive cylinder and corneal toxicity have with base curve topic?

A

Refractive cylinder should be 1.5X greater than corneal toxicity.

108
Q

Higher index of refraction and base curve toric

A

will induce greater cyliner

109
Q

123 rule

A

To get 1D of cylinder on the eye you will need 2D of toxicity on CL and you will measure 3 in the air.

110
Q

Topic Peripheral curves

A

Normally the peripheral curves of a topic lens will be spherical. Necessary if the peripheral pattern of the GP is minimal in one meridian

111
Q

Front surface toric

A

Prism ballast and trunction

112
Q

When to use FST

A

When an optimum lens fit can be achieved with spherical lens design. When refractive astigmatism is greater than corneal (.75D)

113
Q

Flexure

A

Thickness is critical. As lens becomes thinner the possibility increases. May negate value. Increases with corneal toxicity.

114
Q

Thin-Flex

A

Planned flex that corrects corneal toxicity. Neutralize 30% corneal astigmastims

115
Q

SynergyEyes Multifocal

A

use near segments surrounded by distance. However, have complications due to low DK skirt.

116
Q

SynergEyes Duette

A

Have a skirt with higher DK.

117
Q

Pupil size and add power

A

Lower add with lower pupil

118
Q

Add effect

A

Front surface yields higher add effect than back surface. Steeper BC yields higher add effect. Higher indices of refraction yield higher add.

119
Q

Flex lens GP design

A

Standard spherical or aspheric design. High Dk material. Minimal center thickness. Diameter is 1 mm smaller than cut out diameter.

120
Q

Soft perm Hybrid lens designs

A

Has a soft skirt. Will increase diameter but low DK so caused complication. Discontinued.
