1. Central Circular Clouding or PMMA edema OR Sattler’s veil:
|
a. EPITHELIAL clouding, seen with HARD lenses. Gray haze in center
|
|
2. Vertical striae aka Hydrogel edema:
|
a. Vertical, isolate, wispy lines in posterior stroma when edema is > 6-7%. Seen with extended wear SOFT CONTACT LENS. NO light scattering effect, NO change in VA.
|
|
3. Fuch's dystrophy
|
Stroma folds on itself. Occurs when ENDOTHELIAL cells gradually deteriorate. As more endothelial cells are lost, LESS efficient PUMPING of water occurs out of stroma.
|
|
Microcyst edema
|
Epithelial and ANTERIOR stroma cysts. Asymptomatic. Due to extended usage of SOFT CONTACT LENSES. Show a REVERSED ILLUMINATION. HALLMARK SIGN. Due to greater index of refraction of microcyst than the cornea.
NON reversed illumination: water micro blebs. Due to refracive index of water being less ten that of the surrounding cornea. |

Hydrocurve lenses
|
HEMA + NVP. Improves wettability. More water= more oxygen, BUT also needs to be thicker because its weaker material
|
|

Less water means less O2 permeability, but it also attracts less debris
|
|
Group 2 High water Non-ionic
|
More O2 permeability, decrease debris attraction. MAY BE THICKER
|
|
Group 3: Low water ionic
|
Less O2 permeabiliy, attracts debris. GOOD FOR DISPOSABLES
|
|

|
Increase in O2 permeability, attracts debri. Godo for hyperopes or high myopes. Good for replacement lens!!

|
Soft contact lens
Calculated Residual Astigmatism= |
Total Refractive Astigmatism
|
|
Rigid Contact Lens
Calculated Residual Astigmatism= |
Total Refractive Astigmastism-Keratometry readings
Since its - a minus, you add them |
|
So if the astigmatism is at the cornea=
|
RPGs are better at solving the problem, because soft contact lenses will just drape over the cornea and not change the shape.
However if the astigmastism doesnt lie on the cornea itself, and the residual astigmastism is internal, you can use a soft contact lens |
|

DK is in barrer
Dk is Diffusion coefficient times solubility coefficient |
|
Dk is
|
independent of material thickness
DEPENDANT on temperature. DOES NOT tell you how much oxygen is transmitted, just how well O2 permeates into the lens. Dk for soft contact lens = water content of lens |
|
Dk/t is Oxygen TRANSMISSIBILITY
|
It is a LENS PROPERTY and a PHYSICAL test. (EOP was biological)
Measured in barrer/cm Lens does not have to be worn to determine value Typically measured at -3 D and 35 degrees C. |
|
Boundary Layer Effect
|
Reduces effective Dk/t of a lens on eye. O2 molecule arrives at front surface of lens faster than it can penetrate into lens, it thus gets trapped in the interface surfaces
|
|
Must measure Dk/t average of entire lens because
|
lenses are thicker and thinner at different areas depending on type of prescription and power of prescription
|
|
RGP Permeability
|
Gas dissolves thru anterior lens, thru lens proper, thru posterior lens, disolves into poster lens tear film and then fluirinated material
|

21%

|
CLARE Contact lens acute red eye
SEAL Superior epithelial arcuate lesion |
|
SEAL
|
Superior epithelial arcutate lesion:
MECHANICAL complication with soft CL. edge rubs onto cornea. See arcuate epithelial lesion, ac like grayis white epithelial lesion, heaped edges, inflitration, staining. MAY BE MORE PREVELENT in SILICONE HYDROGEL due to higher higher rigidity give antibiotic to treat |
|
CLARE

TREAT grade 3 and 4 with Patanol and steroid (Lotexma) |
|
Microbial Keratitis
|
Loss of epithelial and stromal tissue due to invading bacteria. Chronic hyopxia LEADS TO IT!!!!!
5 fold increase with extended wear cl. Decrease risk with silicone. DUE TO P AEURGINOSA!! Gram -. Sometimes also due to Gram + Staph and Strep P auerg: Gram -, also responsible for inflammation with CLARE due to ENDOTOXIN!! See Hypophon --> cells in clare in anterior chamber. have pain, redness, photobia, mucpurlent discharge, blurry vision, lid swelling, large lesions, cells in falre, eyelid edema. GIVE FLUORQUIN. 1 ggt 5 x 30 min/2 gt q 15 min x 6 hr, 2 gtt q 30 min x 18 hrs, 2 ggts h thereafter for 14 days. |
|
Acanthomeiab keratitis
|

smaller lesions, more peripheral less epithelial damage, NO discharge, less pain and photophiba NO AC reaction NO lid involvement |
|
Infiltrative Kertisis
|
acute inflammation with prescence of intraepithelial or subepithelial infiltrates.
Caused by bacterial toxins from Gram -. STARTS DURING THE DAY. Mild irriation, redness, tearin, NO discarge. See periperal intra/suepitheial infiltrates, rarely see scars, no AC reactions. Use steriods |
|
Empirical Method for torics
|
Patients Rx is orderedWhy do toric Hyodrgels mislocate?
|
|
NATURAL vector fores of the lids.
|
The lids squeeze thin parts of lens. Since prism is usually at 6, the upper lid pushes on the thinner top.
Vector foces lens to move towards nose --> spins lens. Thicker portions of lens moves towards nose. |
|
Thickness of Axis toric lens
|
Oblique axis is HARDEST to stabalize!!
|
|
Truncated Lens with Prism
|
NOT used anymore. Increased thickness and sharpe edyes of lens. Made it even more uncomfortable, saw central corneal thickness withing one hour of wear
|
|
Prism Ballast
|
Used toda. Decreses but does not eliminate rotation. Adds BD prism to lens. GRAVITY does not play a role, but rather the WATERMELON principle does.
Apex on top of lens moves lens down and pushes it against globe. |
|
Watermelon Seed Principle
|
Controls movement of CL!!
GRAVITY does nothing. Upper lid squeezes on thin lens and pushes it down onto lower lid. |
|
Prism Ballast examples:
|
B& L Optima --> Front toric lens.
3 Laser marks 30 degrees away. CSI Toric--> solar. BACK toric. 3 laser marks. Center laser mark is larger. |
|
Thin Zone Design --> Dynamic Stabilization
|
Ciba Vision Torisoft.
Double-slab off design and lower edges are equally thin. NO INDUCED PRISMATIC EFFECT NO PRISM Works great for ATR and HIGHER myopes. Double slab off |
|
Periballast
|
No prism!!!! But Ballested. Great for high cyl and obliques.
|
|
Eccentric lenituclarization
|
Lens optics are not exactly centered.
Back toric! UNIFORM edge thickness--. CYL DOES NOT EFFECT ROTATION. cyl is all found in center of lens. Change in RX does not affect lens orientation. |
|
Combo toric lens examples
|
Durasoft Optifit Toric -->
20 degrees between lenses Ocular Science Biomedics 55 Toric --> FAVORITE. 2 week disposable toric. Isoballasting --> uniformly thin 360 degrees around. |
