CLII_Final Flashcards
Why was piggyback invented?
Effort to improve the comfort and stabilization of GP lenses.
Cons of piggyback
Need to handle twolenses
Oxygen transmittance need to go through two lenses
Name the only company that makes a hybrid?
SynergEyes Inc
Which GP center does Synergeyes use?
Paragon HDS
T/F
Synergeyes hybrid lenses are FDA approved for pts with Keratoconus?
True
Name some candidates for Hybrids
Regular and Irregular corneas
Prolate and oblate cornes
Presbyopia
Keratoconus
Is it recommended to fit a hybrid on a nipple cone?
Nope
Which pts would other ODs rec hybrid lens for?
Corneal GP intolerant
Soft toric pts w/ too much rotation
Soft multifocal pts that want improved optics
What do you use to evaluate hybrid lens
A high molecular wt NaFL like FLuorosoft
Name the 4 diff kinds of SynergEyes products
A - typical ametropia
M = multifocal
KC - keratoconus
PS - post surgical, oblate cornea
What is the purpose of SynergEyes ClearKone lens?
TO fit a wider spectrum of moderate-severe KC patients.
- it has been known to fit better on decentered cones
- has a reverse curve in the GP portion
What kind of MF design are the Duete MF and progressives?
Simultaneous.
It has a near center and aspheric optics.
Name the two near zone sizes for the Duette MF?
What about the progressive?
MF = 2.8mm and 3.3 mm. The smaller value = power is concentrated and transitions quickly. Most pts do better with this. Progressive = 3.0mm
List the add powers available for the Duette progressive
\+1.00 D \+1.75 D \+2.50 D The Duette MF = change in size The Duette Prog = change in power
List the 2nd generation designs for SynergEyes
Duette HD
Duette MF
Ultrahealth
How do you fit the SynergEyes A, MS, PS lens
KC?
Choose first lens based on topography.
Use mean K
Manufacturers err on the side of clearance
KC lens = steep K
How do you fit the ClearKone lens
Begin the fit with the same diagnostic lens everytime
250 vault/Med skirt lens
(Change the vault until you have slight bearing then add 100 microns)
T/F
Can you use regular NaFL with Ultrahealth?
True
How do you fit the Ultrahealth lens?
250 vault/Flat
Change the vault until you have slight bearing then add 100 microns
How do you fit Duette soft skirt
A med skirt on one eye
A Flat skirt on the other other eye.
List some contraindications for IOLs
Intraocular dz
Trauma
Recurrent uveitis
Compromise to iris, corneal endothelium or A/C
Describe the corneal curvature for an infant
Flattening happens over the first six months
The mean is 47D
Flattening to adult values by 4 years of age
The cornea is steeper in pre-term infants
Describe the corneal diameter
Avg 9.8mm
Reach adult values by age 4
Pre-term infants have smaller OAD
Describe the RE for an infant
At one month: +31D
At 4 years: +21D
Most of the change happens within the first 1.5 years
Where is the infant’s world
At near!!!
