Q

Name the two near zone sizes for the Duette MF?

What about the progressive?

A
MF = 2.8mm and 3.3 mm. The smaller value = power is concentrated and transitions quickly. Most pts do better with this.

27
Q

Describe the order for lens care procedure

A
  1. Removal and recentering of lens
  2. Insertion
  3. Cleaning and disinfecting
28
Q

How often for RTC

A

Begin weekly and proceed to monthly in infants
Monitor infants q3months when fit is successful.
If using patching therapy - see infant every month
-Extended/continuous wear require more frequent monitoring

29
Q

What is the name of GP lens for an infant

A

Pediasite

-has its own flourescein pattern

30
Q

T/F

Hydrogel and SiHy is a lot harder to handle on a child

A

True

31
Q

Name a Silicone elastomer lens

What are the advantages

A

Silsoft by B&L
Dk = 340 - approved for overnight wear
Facilitates lens centration and limits dislocation

32
Q

Name some cons for Silsoft

A

Expensive
Poor wetting if surface is compromised
Predisposition for lipid deposition
Limited parameter availability

33
Q

B/w SiHy and GP lens, which is less likely to dislocate

A

SiHy.

Semi-scleral is less likely to dislocate as well.

34
Q

Remember to do vertex distance for any Rx over 4D

A

Yessir!!!

35
Q

What is a GP consideration for a thick lens?

A

Avoid low Dk material!

Hema lens are the lowest Dk lens

36
Q

What is the benefit of a single cut lens?

A

Small diameter decreases overall mass and facilitates centration

37
Q

What is the value for a non-lenticular lens

A

0.18mm for plano

38
Q

What is the value for a lenticular lens

A

0.14mm

39
Q

How much thickness do you add for each diopter of plus

A

0.02

40
Q

How much thickness do you subtract for each diopter of minus?
What is the minimum amount?

A

0.01

Minimum of 0.10mm

41
Q

where did OrthoK like procedures make its debut?

A

China.

Used sandbags

42
Q

Name a big contributor to OrthoK

A

Sanford Ziff

43
Q

How were OrthoK lens fit in the past

A

Moderately flatter than the patients cornea.

  • poor centration
  • Induced irregular astigmatism
44
Q

Name some milestones in OrthoK development

A
  1. Reverse geometry lenses
    - Improved lens centration
  2. Accelerated OrthoK (days and weeks)
  3. Manufactured in GP lens materials approved for overnight wear
  4. FDA approval facilitated the promotion of the lens, improved public perception.
45
Q

What is a reverse geometry lens

A

SCR is steeper than BCR

46
Q

Name some companies fitting OrthoK lens

A

Paragon - CRT (corneal Reshaping technology)

B&L - VST (Vision Shaping treatment)

47
Q

Name the four lenses that B&L make for OrthoK

A

48
Q

What is the mechanism for OrthoK

A

Mid-peripheral stromal thickening
Resultant change in corneal sag height

49
Q

Who are the candidates for OrthoK

A
Low to mod Myopes (-1to-4), up to 06D
Low to mod corneal astigmatism, up to -1.75 WRT is best

53
Q

What is doing the vision correction in orthoK?

A

The tear lens

54
Q

What are the three ways you can manipulate an orthoK lens

A

RZD = 25 microns
LZ = 15 microns
BCR: .10mm = 7 microns

55
Q

.500 RZD vs .550RZD

A

.500 RZD = shallow sag depth = more bearing centrally

.550 RZD = steeper sag depth = more central pooling

56
