Fitting rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses is not always easy or clear cut. Here are quick types of adjustments that can be made to improve the fit of an RGP. If changing base curve, you must make changes of at least 0.05mm to cause a change in the fit. Avoid altering the optic zone. About Courtney Dryer, OD. Courtney Dryer is a 2011 graduate The flatter base curve is typically selected approximately 0.25D flatter than flat K. The steeper base curve radius is typically 1.00D flatter than steep K. This creates 0.75D of toricity, which would simulate the ideal cornea to fit a spherical lens. The result should be an alignment fitting relationship. Group 5 of patients revealed a significant correlation between the base curve of RGP lenses and a difference of more than 0.6mm in two radial curves of the cornea. This correlation was regarded as of medium strength in Monro's table. Because of β=0.528 and P <0.001, kr is able to predict BC.Considering r =0.528, 337.50 a number to remember for converting Diopters to Millimeters or vice versa . Simply divide 337.50 by either Diopters or Millimeters to convert to the other.
Back optic zone radius. The back surface design of RGP lenses may be spherical, aspherical or a combination of both. Spherical lenses may be bi- curve, tri-curve or multi-curve and with each diff erent BOZR the peripheral curve design can result in a constant axial edge lift or constant axial edge clearance design.
Professional Fitting And Information Guide For Trade Name (generic name) Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lenses For Orthokeratology - attachment to Guidance for Premarket Submissions of Many guidelines and philosophies for fitting bitoric RGP lenses base the relation of the corneal toricity and RGP base curves on the perceived ideal spherical lens fit. This ideal spherical lens fit occurs on a cornea with approximately 0.75D of with-the-rule corneal toricity. Manufacturers offer multiple base curves and refractive indices. Calculating the most appropriate base curve goes beyond the common myth, “keep the same base curve” and standardized base curve charts. In this paper we will explore both the implications for visual acuity, and the practical applications of proper base curve selection. Back optic zone radius.

Spherical lenses may be bi- curve, tri-curve or multi-curve and with each diff erent BOZR the peripheral curve design can result in a constant axial edge lift or constant axial edge clearance design. Searching for contact lenses with a base curve of 8.5 (e.g. 1-Day Acuvue Moist), base curve 8.6 (e.g. Biofinity) or base curve 8.7 (e.g. Dailies AquaComfort Plus)? Maybe they have a diameter of 14.2 or your looking for diameter 14.5? Or perhaps you're asking yourself questions like: How do I read my prescription? You don't need your physical prescription with you in order to purchase contact lenses from Vision Direct, but you do need to have a good understanding of what it is. You can find your prescription on the piece of paper given to you by your optician during a check-up, on the end/side of your contact lens box or on the blister packs that contain your contact lenses.

RGP toric lenses are indicated for high amounts of prescription astigmatism, high corneal toricity or when a smaller diameter or other parameter is needed. They are not readily available in a soft lens design such as a steeper or flatter base curve. Base Curve Goal is to align with the cornea Optic Zone Where the optics are clearest! Curvature of Optic Zone is base curve Peripheral curve system Most of the time there are 2 curves, sometimes more Goal is to align with the peripheral cornea and assist in centration and tear exchange Professional Fitting And Information Guide For Trade Name (generic name) Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lenses For Orthokeratology - attachment to Guidance for Premarket Submissions of Many guidelines and philosophies for fitting bitoric RGP lenses base the relation of the corneal toricity and RGP base curves on the perceived ideal spherical lens fit.
