Q

What is the “Drysdale’s principle”?

A

For a curved mirror, an image is formed in the same plane as the objectwhen the object is at the centre of curvature of the mirror

Q

Briefly explain how a radiuscope (optical microspherometer) works (3)

A

The curved surface of the contact lens acts as a mirror. Two images of the projected target are formed: a surface image and cleaner aerial image. The distance between focusing these two images gives the radius of curvature of the contact lens

Q

Describe the procedure to use a radiuscope to measure radius of curvature (6)

A

Centre the beam on the CL
Focus target image on lens surface (surface image)
Set internal scale to zero
Obtain aerial focus (aerial image) by moving microscope up
Read radius of curvature off the internal scale
Use an average of 3 readings

Q

How does radiuscopy differ for toric lenses? Explain

A

Toric lenses have two radii of curvature, meaning that not all spokes of the aerial image will come into focus together. This means that 2 radings willn eed to be taken

Q

How does radiuscopy differ for a warped lens?

A

aerial image is not focusable

22
Q

What is the main problem with doing radiuscopy on SCLs?

A

Only a small amount of incident light is reflected back, therefore you need a very high intensity illumination system

23
Q

Describe how the template method for measuring radius of curvature is carried out (4)

A

Lens placed concave down on a template of known radius
If the two surfaces are not aligned, a bubble forms
The position of the bubble indicates if too flat or too steep
Can then place lens into an adjacent radius template until no bubble

24
Q

How accurate is the template method for measuring radius of curvature?

A

Very approximate (accuracy +/- 0.30mm)

25
Q

In what type of CLs is BPR measured?

A

RGPs

26
Q

In what type of CLs is FOZR measured?

A

RGPs

27
Q

Describe how a spherometer works (5)

A

Lens mounted and centred with convex surface upward in saline
Viewed at 15x magnification
Probe advanced until contact is observed
Amount by which it needs to be advanced gives measure of sagittal depth (or “sag”)
BOZR is then calculated from the “sag”

28
Q

How does the radiuscope procedure differ when verifying BPR instead of BOZR?

A

Mount is tilted so the light falls on teh peripheral curve

29
Q

When would verification of BPR with a radiuscope be difficult? (2)

A

if narrow band width (<0.7mm) or blended peripherally

30
Q

Why is verification of BPR with a radiuscope not performed for SCLs? (1)

A

there is no visible junction for SCLs

31
Q

How does the radiuscopy procedure differ when verifying FOZR instead of BOZR? (2)

A

A special FOZR mount is used (i.e. convex surface UP)

The aerial image is obtained by moving the microscope DOWN (i.e. the image is below the lens rather than above it)

32
Q

How can we verify BOZD and BPZD in RGPs? (2)

A

Measuring magnifier

Projection magnifier

33
Q

What is a measuring magnifier?

A

magnifying lens with adjustable eyepiece focussed onto a clear platform with a graticule scale

34
Q

What is a projection magnifier? (2)

A

lens placed on stage in path of light beam.

shadow projected onto screen which has a mm grid scale.

35
Q

36
Q

What 3 tools can we use to verify TD in SCLs?

A

37
Q

How does a V-gauge work? (3)

A 
CL placed in wide end of gauge
Slips down by gravity until it stops (do not push)
Total diameter (TD) reads directly off the scale
38
Q

What is the tolerance for the V-gauge?

A

+/- 0.05mm

39

A

uncommonly

42
Q

What tool would we use to verify water content?

A

Atago soft contact lens hand refractometer

43

A

1st BPR = BOZR + 1st PCR

47
Q

How do you calculate 1st BPZD?

A

1st BPZD = BOZD + (1st PCW)x2

How do you calculate 2nd BPZD?

A
