Pres SCL

Question 1

more soft MF lenses provide (alternating/simultaneous) vision

Answer 1

simultaneous - b/c they stay centered

Question 2

are segmented SCLs common? What’s an example of a segmented SCL lens?
-do you increase or decrease the LD to make the lens position more superiorly and raise the seg ht?

Answer 2

NO - don’t translate enough (t work well

-INCREASE the LD; decreasing it will drop the seg and position it inferiorly

Question 3

do SOFT aspherics have near or distance in the center? (hint: remember what aspheric GPs have)
-are soft aspherics pupil-size dependent?

Answer 3

NEAR - b/c GPs have dist in the center.

MF SCLs have near in center, more dist as you go toward peri
-YES. pupil size dependent

Question 4

most aspheric SCLs only have one add power available, though there are exceptions:

• which has THREE adds available?
• which has TWO adds available?

Answer 4

THREE: air optix (Low, Med, High)
TWO: PureVision (Low -up to +1.50, High -up to +2.50)

Question 5

which soft MF lens provides “balanced progressive technology”, and has a SINGLE add option?

Answer 5

Proclear 1-day MF

Question 6

What’s the only SiHy, DAILY disposable SCL MF?

Answer 6

Clariti - has 2 adds available

Question 7

Aspheric soft FIT:

• want to maximize ___ @ D, ___ @ N
• perform (mono/binoc) VA and OR
• to increase DIST VA - what do you do?
• to increase NEAR VA - what do you do?
• room illum?

Answer 7

max (+) @ D, max (-) @ N

• BINOCULAR VA/OR
• increase DIST: LOWER ADD (DON’T over-minus - will remove plus power from near as well if you do)
• increase NEAR: bump up add of near eye (like modified mono)
• MODERATE room illum

Question 8

Concentric Soft Lenses

• which lens (two-zone or multi-zone) is better at reducing glare, shadows and ghost images?
• what is SUPER-important for the success of this lens?

Answer 8

multi-zone; CENTRATION is vital

Question 9

Coopervision Biofinity, Proclear, and Frequency 55 MFs all have what unique design?

Answer 9

D and N lens design

Question 10

Which MF lens offers “stereo precision technology” to both: 1) balance all distances, and UNIQUELY TO 2) minimize glare, ghosts, halos?

Answer 10

AV Oasys for presbyopia - NOT DEPENDENT ON ILLUMINATION

Question 11

which fitting style is a good go-to when the patient has failed to adapt to BOTH: monoVA and MF?

Answer 11

modified mono! - enhance either dist or near more than you did in mono
-NO SET PROCEDURE - yolo.

Question 12

what is the most PREFERRED option for SOFT (and GP too, actually) presbyopic lens fitting style?

Answer 12

MULTIFOCAL - preferred (68%) over monovision

Question 13

aspheric and multi-zone concentric SCLs are preferred for (low/high) adds because they provide LESS d____, LESS g___/shadows, and PROGRESSIVE/continuous vision

Answer 13

LOW adds

less distortion, less ghosting, progressive vision

Question 14

GPs and aspheric/concentric/segmented SCLs are preferred for (LOW/HIGH) adds

Answer 14

HIGH adds - translation available, crisper vision in each zone of the lens

Question 15

Have a good fit set for EACH of the following 4 designs:

1) soft a____
2) soft m____zone concentric
3) GP a____
4) GP t_____

Answer 15

soft aspheric, soft multi-zone concentric, GP aspheric, GP translating
