Using Contact Lens Care to Treat Vision Impairment in Adult & Pediatric Patients: A Key Component of Vision Rehabilitation Lori L. Grover, OD, FAAO Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology Wilmer Eye Institute The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Lions Vision Research & Rehabilitation Center Department of Health, Policy and Management The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health [email protected] Learning Objectives • Provide insights into contact lens considerations for patients of all ages with vision impairment • Highlight commonly encountered populations & review clinical pearls • Gain knowledge to make vision impairment contact lens care part of practice • Discuss related stakeholder and practice management issues I. Introduction “Optometrists, through their clinical education, training, experience, and broad geographic distribution, have the means to provide effective primary eye and vision care services, including contact lens prescription and fitting, vision rehabilitation, and disease management to children and adults …” A. Evaluate patients who wear, or who desire to wear, CLs B. Maintain and improve the care of patients wearing CLs C. Manage complications encountered during contact lens wear D. Inform and educate other health care practitioners & lay public about CL care E. Assist in the professional care of patients wearing CLs II. Vision Impairment (VI) and Vision Rehabilitation (VR) A. Definition of Vision Rehabilitation B. Examination of the Patient with Vision Impairment C. Maximizing Visual Function in VR 1. Accurate diagnosis of VI status 2. Quantify remaining visual abilities 3. Monitor stability or progression of disease/ocular health & changes in visual abilities 4. Determine optimal refractive status & correct refractive error 7. Evaluate effects of ophthalmic lenses, prism, or occlusion on visual function 8. Prescribe magnification, other available optical treatment III. The Patient and the Team 1. Family and Stakeholders 2. The Pediatric Population 3. Evidence for CL Care & Its Value A. Benefits B. Safety C. Patient Management 4. Patient Candidacy 5. Common Clinical Rationale A. Refractive error B. Prosthetic needs C. Keratoconus IV. V. VI. VII. D. Corneal ectasia E. Strabismus F. Amblyopia G. Congenital disorders H. Trauma I. Myopia management J. Aphakia K. Lens subluxation (Marfans) L. Corneal irregularity (trauma, disease, surgery) M. Bandage requirement N. Occlusion treatment O. Treatment of accommodative ET, CE P. Ocular asymmetry Q. Iris transillumination Available Treatment Options 1. Hydrogels (SCL options) 2. Rigids (RGP options) 3. Hybrids and Silicones 4. “Special” Applications 5. Optional design features 6. Multifocals (simultaneous vision) 7. Monovision 8. Therapeutics Functional Issues 1. Neurological conditions 2. Illumination and glare control 3. Maximized visual field 4.

Post-Surgical Vision Impairment 4. Irregular Corneal Surfaces 5. Achromatopsia – Photophobia – pendular nystagmus – usually normal fundi (macular atrophy may occasionally be present) – Occurs in complete (typical) and incomplete (atypical) forms 6. Iris Defects VIII. IX. X. 7. Strabismus 8. Prosthetic Cosmesis 9. Special Applications Clinical and Laboratory Resources Practice Management Pearls 1. Patient Education 2. Stakeholder Training 3. Scheduling 4. EMR and Diagnostics Conclusion
