Q

WHEN TO FIT SPHERICAL SCL? (4)

A

● LENS OF FIRST CHOICE
Unless the power of the eor of px is above 5.00
so you have to consider other lenses
● EOR’s-Sph & Cyl (<0.75 D cyl)
● Comfort is prime issue
● Low and extreme EOR’s including aphakia

● Binasal System

23
Q

Cartesian coordinates is ____.

A

24
Q

Binasal system is Bino. We now take into consideration the nose of the px.

Anything that goes toward the nose is _____ and anything outside/temporal of the nose is negative.

Up is positive and down is negative.

A

positive

25
Q

FITTING DESCRIPTION

A

● GOOD, OPTIMUM, IDEAL
● STEEP, TIGHT, BOUND
● FLAT, LOOSE, MOBILE (moving)
● CENTERED, DECENTRED
● LOW RIDING (loose), HIGH RIDING (steep)
● SUPERIOR, INTERIOR, NASAL, TEMPORAL AND COMBINATIONS OF THE ABOVE

26
Q

WHAT GOVERNS LENS FIT?

A

● RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SAGITTAL HEIGHTS OF LENS AND ANTERIOR EYE(LENS>EYE)
● ANTERIOR EYE TOPOGRAPHY INCLUDING CORNEA
● BLINK-INDUCED PRESSURE
● PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE LENS
● LID CHARACTERISTICS, LID/LENS INTERACTION

27
Q

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE LENS (4)

A
  • PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS
  • RX
  • THICKNESSES
  • LENS DESIGN

Thickness and Rx is connected. The
thickness depends on the Rx of the px.

28
Q

HOW IS LENS FIT ALTERED?

A

Either we manipulate the base curve or manipulate the diameter.
We cannot alter the topography of the eye, Rx, Lid characteristic.

29
Q

BY ALTERING ONE OR MORE FACTORS WHICH GOVERN LENS FIT BUT … THE CONSTANTS ARE: (3)

A

● ANTERIOR EYE TOPOGRAPHY
● RX
● LID CHARACTERISTICS

30
Q

SOFT LENS FITTING (Parameter Selection) (14)

A

● Total diameter ∅T
● BOZR, r0
● Centre thickness, tc
● Optic Zone Diameter
● Water Content
● Material Selection
● Method of manufacture
● Total diameter ∅T
● BOZR, r0
● Centre thickness, tc
● Optic Zone Diameter
● Water Content
● Material Selection
● Method of manufacture

31
Q

For every increase in the total diameter of 0.5mm, you should also increase the base curve by 0.3 mm to maintain the same fitting characteristic.

A

Rule of Thumb (Soft Lenses)

32
Q

rule of thumb sample:

Example:
TD- 14mm BOZR- 8.1mm
However in your clinic, the lens that you have is only 14.5mm. So since the TD is increased by 5, you must adjust
the base curve so it would be 8.04 mm.

A

<3

33
Q

SOFT LENS FITTING (BOZR Selection)
Measure Ks (mm) then add either:

A
  • 0.3 - 0.9 mm to flattest K
  • 1 mm to average of Ks
  • 4 D flatter than average K
    Select lens of nearest BOZR from ∅T trial set
34
Q

WHAT TO ASSESS DURING LENS TRIAL
Observe decentration and/or lag:

A

● Primary gaze (0.2 - 0.75 mm acceptable)
● Upgaze (up to 1.5 mm acceptable)
● Lateral eye movements (up to 1.5 mm
acceptable)

35
Q

The need for Corneal Coverage: Mechanical prevention of (3)

A

● corneal trauma
● limbal trauma
● conjunctival trauma

36
Q

The need for Corneal Coverage: Optical (3)

A

● centration (often decentred up, sometimes up and out)
● shape regularity
● post-lens tear film uniformly

37
Q

The need for Corneal Coverage:
Physiological (3)

A

● corneal exposure
this will cause dryness
● corneal dessication
● tear film disturbance, lens & eye wettability

38
Q

The need for Corneal Coverage (4)

A

optical
mechanical prevention
comfort
physiological

39
Q

About 1 mm symmetrical overlap is ____

A

ideal

40
Q

Soft Lens Fitting (Effect of a Blink) (2)

A

Too steep
Flat

41
Q
  • the vision is clear immediately after a blink.
  • Before and after blinking= clear
A

Too steep SCL

42
Q
  • Vision is blurred immediately after a blink.
  • Because it goes out of place
A

Flat SCL

43
Q

Why is CL movement required? (3)

A

● Removes and disperses ocular debris
● Promotes tear exchange (minimal)
● Possibly aids epithelial wetting by mucin spreading and smoothing.

44
Q

Lens movement of Soft CL depends on (7)

A
  • Lens type
  • Lens design
  • Physical properties of lens
    ● material especially rigidity
  • Fitting relationship
  • Lid factors
  • Anterior eye topography
45
Q

What is not acceptable? (4)

A
  • Lens edge curling/wrinkling - too loose (slit-lamp
    or pen torch will disclose)
  • Conjunctival indentation - too tight
  • Excessive decentration exposure
  • Excessive movement producing visual
    disturbances.
46
Q

It is useful to remember that ___ dehydration tends to
tighten the fit.

A

on-eye

47
Q

Excessive Looseness
Indications: (4)

A
  • If extreme, lens will not stay in eye
  • Excessive lens movement
  • Wrinkling/buckling of lens edge
  • Vision variable but worse immediately after blink if decentred
  • if lens centred blink may be little or no
    difference
48
Q

Tint Selection

A

Handling:
Enhancing

49
Q
  • full diameter – light tint to avoid halo
  • iris diameter
A

handling

50
Q
  • for lighter colored eyes only
  • usually, tint similar to iris e.g. blue or aqua lens –
    blue eyes
A

Enhancing

51
Q

Back Vertex Power (BVP)

A

● Spectacle Rx = VD corrected
● Add trial and over Rx BVP’s
● Calculate best sphere

52
Q

Calculate best sphere

A
  • If low to moderate astigmatism
    present: 4:1 rule
  • Reduced VA may be acceptable for
    “social” wear
  • If BS fails to provide required VA,
    consider toric SCL
