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.

-1 is lid is below limbus
Edema od cornea leads to vertical striae at what percent?
>7% swelling.
Keratometry problems
only measure 4 points in central 3mm (2 flat, 2 steep meridians)
Keratometer also assums cornea is spherical.
Rigid lenses
Great optical quality, smaller, mroe oxygen porous!, great for myopia and can be used for othokeratology.
Disadvantage: COMFORT and longer adaptation time.
USE proparicaine
Partialblink/flick blink
Occurs with RPGs. Once lid ishalf way down it touches the lens, becomes irritated, and goes back up ---> LEADS TO DRY EYE and other complications
Major role of endothelium
PUMP to keep fluid out
Types of Edema
CCC
Vertical Striaee
Fuch's
Epithelial Microysts
Superficial Punctate Keratitis
CCC
Central Corneal Clouding ---> PMMA EDEMA!!!
also known as Sattler's veil. HARD KENSES, See gray haze, decrease in VA, also get staining!
Vertical Striae
HYDROGEL EDEMA!!!
vertical, isolated wispy lines in POSTERIOR stroma, visible > 6-7% edema. NO decrease in VA
More edema, more striae
Fuch's Dystrophy
Stroma FOLDS onto itself, endothelial cells DETERIORATE, less efficient at pumping out water --> distorts vision
Epithelial Microysts
Epithelial cysts in ANTERIOR stroma. SEEN IN REVERSED illumination! index of refraction of cyst is greater than cornea.
Superficial Punctate Keratitis
BREAKDOWN OF SURFACE epithelium
Limus --> shows signs of hypoxia

1.5!!!! Or else we have neovascularization
Micropannus
Inflammatory movmenet of blood vseels into corneal tissue --> response to STAPH!
see fan shaped clouding of cornea located at 6 o'clock

Micropapilla
Bumpbs on conj, mast cells --> CASES RED EYE
Chemosis
NOT due to CL, but is an allergic reaction
MGD Meibomiam gland dysfunction
Patient will ave dry eye because glands are plugged. Not enough oil in outer layer of tear film --> get excessive evaporation an dry eye.

Hydrocurve lenses
HEMA + NVP. Improves wettability. More water= more oxygen, BUT also needs to be thicker because its weaker material
Group 1 Low Water Non-ionic
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
Group 4: High Water, ionic
Increase in O2 permeability, attracts debri. Godo for hyperopes or high myopes. Good for replacement lens!!
Silicon hydrogels
LOW water contennt ut high transmissity of O2.
The higher the water content....
the thicker the lens.... decrease transmission.
Old lens were ___ thick
New lenses are _____ thick
.35
.035
Anterior optic zone is no smaller than
8 mm, or it would induse flare
Bread and butter rule
Keep C same and increase diameter, sag increases and lens TIGHTENS
If you increase steepness (decrease BC ) and keep diameter the same, sag increases and lens TIGHTENS
To loosen a lens
decrease Diameter or flatten BC (increase it)
Changing the shape of the back curve of the lens using spin cast
does not make much of a difference for the performance of the lens of the eye

power is + or - 4 D
When deciding to go with toric or spheric lenses, you can try spheric if the ratio of sphere to cyl is:
4:1
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
5 criteria for soft lens eval
MVP CH
Movement
Viscual Acuity
Position
Comfort
Health
Edge standoff
feels like an eyelash to the eye. The edge of the lens flips. Fit the lens to be larger, steepers, and or/ tighter.
Flexing phenomenon
when patient blinks, the cl is pushed up against the cornea and vision is improved. Occurs when a lens is not setttled properly. May need to give patient something flatter
If lens is too loose

Superior or temperal superior
if lens is too loose
We will see no movement, inferior position, some flexing

0-3, 3 being the most severe
% of O2 in air
21%

2/3
21% of 760 mm Hg=
155 mg Partial Pressure of Oxygen in on CL patient

tear pumping mechansim.
SCL ONLY gets oxygen thru transmition

8-10%
EOP Equivalent Oxygen Percentage is a _______ measurement
biological
PMMA Equivalent Oxygen Percentage is
0, DOES NOT LET Oxygen in
Permeability is measured in
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
EOP can never exceed
21%
O2 supply via blinking for RGP
15-20% per blink, GREAT tear exchange.

on average its 4%, deswelling occurs within 90 minutes after eyes are open
Soft lens overnight swelling
4% of normal + 8% due to lens = 12% overnigt

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.
