CLINICALLY IMPORTANT FEATURES Field of vision larger field avoid peripheral distortion Image size Power of CL Vertex Distance The power of a lens is the reciprocal of the focal length, the relative or effective power of a corrective lens changes with the placement of the lens or the distance between the lens and the eye. This relationship is expressed by the formula D= 1 /f Where D = power in diopters, f = focal length in meters. Example. In a +10.00 diopter lens, the focal length is 10 cm (0.1 m): D = 1/0.1 D= 10 - The closer a lens comes to the corneal surface and nodal point of the eye, the greater the plus power required and the less the minus power needed to correct the refractive error. -The formula for the change in vertex power of the lens is Δ= D²d Where Δ = change in power due to vertex distance; D = lens power; d = distance lens in meters. An aphakic spectacle correction of +13.00 diopters at 13 mm in from the eye. power of the contact lens be? Δ = 13² x 0.013 Δ = 169 X 0.013 Δ =2.197 diopters. The power of the required contact lens corrected for vertex distance is +13.00 +2.20= +15.20 D If a -10.00 lens is at 15 mm from the eye the power of the required contact lens is calculated as follows: Δ =D²d Δ = -10² X 0.015 Δ = 1.5 D The total required power is -10.00 + 1.50= -8.50 diopters - The power and position of the correcting lens must be such that the focal point of the lens is conjugate to the focal point of the eye. DESIGN DESCRIPTION AND PARAMETERS Overall diameter Linear measurement of greatest distance across physical boundaries of lens PMMA-7.5-8.8 mm RGP-9-9.8 mm Soft contact lenses-13-15mm 1. Optical zone diameter dimension of Central optical zone which is meant to focus rays on retina 3. Curvatures Ant. Curvatures: • C.A.C (Cental ant.Curvature)- ant surface of optical zone,determines power of cl • P.A.C. (Peripheral ant curvature): slope on the periphery of ant surface • I.A.C. (Intermediate anterior curvature) for high power plus & minus lenses in between CAC & PAC Posterior curvatures: CPC (central post curve )– Base curve to fit the front surface of cornea I.P.C.(Intermediate)- flatter than CPC P.P.C.(Peripheral)- flatter than IPC These are meant to serve as tear fluid reservoir. CL can have bicurve, tricurve or even multi curve contour design. 4. BlendSmooth area of transition of radius of curvature from one curve to other Light Medium heavy 5.

Measure Ks Select trial lens from manufacturer's fitting guide for lenses Add 0.7 mm or more to flattest K for less flexible lens materials (thicker, low water) Add 0.3 - 0.6 mm for standard and flexible materials (thinner, high water) 3- Selection of lens power - Refraction prescription must be converted to minus cylinder from: 1- If cylinder in refraction is (less than or equal to) less or equal ≤ 0.50D, power = spherical component 2 - If cylinder in refraction is 0.750D to 1.00D, the contact lens power = spherical equivalent (spherical component + 1/2 Cyl) EVALUATION OF TRIAL LENS FIT:1.Base curve Evaluation:- A well-fitted lens will show five basic qualities; good centration, adequate movement, stable vision, crisp retinoscopic reflex, clear undistorted keratometry mires, and clear endpoint over-refraction SOFT LENSES CENTRATION DECENTRED SOFT LENS 2.Lens diameter evaluation:- IDEAL-should extend 1.0-1.5 mm over the cornea. 3.Lens power evaluation:- CONTACT LENS FITTING APPROACHES FOR SOFT CL’S FITTING: Corneal Diameter Technique Corneal Curvature Technique Median Fit Technique Saggital Depth Tecnique Corneal diameter technique:- Corneal Curvature Technique:K-reading Less < 41.00D Soft CL Base Curve Flat ( >9.00mm) Between 41.00– 45.00 D Medium (8.00-.00mm) Larger > 45.00D Steep (< 8.00mm) Median Fit Technique:- Sagittal Depth Technique:- Correction The following steps should be taken to correct a loose lens: - Either changing the base curve by decreasing it by 0.2 to 0.3 mm OR - Increasing the diameter of the lens by 0.5mm up to 15mm. The following steps should be taken to correct a light lens: - Either changing the base curve by increasing it by 0.2 to 0.3 mm OR - Decreasing the diameter of the lens by 0.5mm.
