Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Introduction to Contact Lenses” by Amy C. Nau.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about contact lenses, small, thin, and curved plastic discs that are placed on the surface of the eye to correct vision problems. They are used as an alternative to eyeglasses and can provide more natural vision, as they move with the eye and allow for a wider field of view.

Contact lenses come in different types, materials, and designs, depending on the individuals needs and preferences. They can correct various vision problems, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia.

There are two main types of contact lenses: soft and rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses. Soft lenses are made of a hydrogel material that contains water and is flexible, while RGP lenses are made of a rigid, oxygen-permeable plastic material that allows for better oxygen flow to the eye.

Contact lenses require proper care and maintenance, such as cleaning and disinfecting, to prevent eye infections and other complications. It is important to follow the instructions of an eye care professional when using contact lenses.

Introduction to Contact Lenses Amy C. Nau
Slide 2-

History 1636 described by Descartes 1886 first therapeutic lens to aid healing after cataract surgery 1888 first lens for KC- scleral 1899-1912 first concepts of the corneal lens 1930’s non glass materials 1948 corneal lenses developed 1950’s hydrogels 1970’s rgp 1990’s silicone hydrogel materials
Slide 3-

Demographics 32 million Americans wear lenses 98% single vision 2% bifocal 87% soft 12% rgp 1% pmma 66% disposable
Slide 4-

Lens Parameters CT junction Base curve Peripheral curve BCR PCR OZ OAD D=n’-n/r Pcr width Scr width
Slide 5-

Lens ParametersSaggital Height diameter BC 8.1 BC 6.5 If diameter is constant, decreasing the base curve (steeper) increases the saggital Height. Aspheric lenses have reduced saggital depth compared to spherical lenses.

Anatomy of the Contact Rx Brand/BC/power/diameter Brand/BC/power/diameter/oz/ct/peripheral curve details/material
Slide 7-

Oxygen Dk- measures oxygen permeability of a material. D= diffusion coefficient for oxygen movement in the material k=solubility constant of oxygen in material Dk/t= the Dk value divided by the center thickness (t). Measures oxygen transmissibility
Slide 8-

Lens Designs Aspheric Peripheral only, total, bi(posterior OZ/ant pc) Ballasted (prism) Fenestrated Lenticular (aphakia) Toric FST, BST, Bi Truncated
Slide 9-

Lens Materials RGP PMMA Silicone acrylate Dk 15-55 Fluoropolymer (FLP) Dk up to 150 Excellent wettability Deposit resistant (non silicone polymers) Soft HEMA (hydroxyethylmethacrylate) Absorbs water. 10% increase = doubles Dk Water content 37-79% Silicone Hydrogel Siloxane + cross linker Hydrophobic Reduced water content
Slide 10-

Instruments Keratometer Lensometer- convex side up (bvp) Slit lamp Topography Radiuscope CL comparators-project image 20x Thickness gauge

Patient Evaluation Contraindications Chronic blepharoconjunctivitis Recurrent/inflamed pterygium or pinguecula Bells Palsy with corneal anesthesia Poor hygeine Chemical exposures Severe allergy Inability to handle lens Very dry eye TED Uncontrolled Dm AIDS?

History Full medical hx Ocular hx Medication hx Contact lens hx Spectacle hx Hobbies/occupational needs Motivation
Slide 13-

Conditions that cause problems Chronic allergy Dry eye GPC Recurrent infections Sometimes prior sx Neovascularization Sometimes strabismus Pregnancy Antihistamine use, OCP Mental status Age +/- Lens noncompliance
Slide 14-

Physical Examination Visual acuity / MR Lid assessment (include upper and lower tarsus), blink patterns, mgd/bleph, apeture Basic dry eye workup (tbut, LG, NaFl, Zone quick) Corneal status/health, esp epi, old scars and neo Pupil size, HVID Keratometry/corneal shape
Slide 15-

Lens Selection Motivation Current lens problems= need to solve Occupational needs Cosmetic needs Maintain health of eye Cost Compliance
Slide 16-

Selection Process- Advantages and Disadvantages SOFT RGP Once the modality is selected, next step is to pick the material and the solution Finally, brand and power
Slide 17-

Soft Lenses BC range 6.0 to 11.0 but most are 8.4 to 9.0 Power range -55D to +60D but most are +/- 10D Diameter 11.0 to 24.00mm but most are 13.00 to 15.00mm Tyler’s quartery is an invaluable resource
Slide 18-

Soft Classifications Water Content Low 37-45% (DW); medium 46-58%; high 59-79% (EW) More water = thicker Ionicity Manufacturing process Spin casting, lathe cutting, cast molding Lens design Function (DW, EW, prosthetic etc) Color Bifocal/monovision Therapeutic (bandage, cosmetic Aphakic Toric (double slab off, prism ballast, truncation) Thickness
Slide 19-

Extended Wear Use with caution Make sure eye is healthy Compliant pt Understand and accept risk Willing to have regular f/u Willing to remove lenses and wear glasses if needed. Remove q6, clean leave out for 24 h if possible then reinsert EW risk of UK 20.9/10K versus 4.1 per 10K
Slide 20-

F/U visit for EW Acute hypoxia (CLARE) Microcystic edema GPC K neo Striae Infiltrates SPK If found, d/c EW.
Slide 21-

Soft fitting evaluation Well centered 0.5 to 1.0mm movement with blink Limbal coverage (at least 1.0mm beyond) Stable vision Three point touch
Slide 22-

Troubleshooting Decentration- steepen bc or increase diameter, no spin cast lenses Late decentration- look for deposits, GPC Minus OR- flatten BC Unstable VA- flatten BC if sphere (flexure) Tight lens clear after blink, loose lens burred after blink Unstable VA (toric) steepen BC, increase diameter, change modality Too tight- flatten BC or reduce diameter
Slide 23-

Follow up Be clear about lens regimen Make sure they can I/R F/U usually about 3-4 weeks with cls on 4+hours VA, OR, fit assessment, remove lens, examine for problems, stain with NaFl
Slide 24-

CL problem RX: OD: -6.75-2.75x 165 Os: -8.00-0.75x 180
Slide 25-

RGP lenses- fitting philosophies Small and thin-max tear circulation and oxygen Vault apex Small cornea= steep; large cornea = flat Small and steep lens ; large and flat lens On flat K Steeper or flatter than K IP, bit steeper than K, smaller diameter, thin edges LA (increased comfort); flatter than K, larger
Slide 26-

RGP fitting technique Select the fit you want to use for the pt based on physical exam, MR and K. Select diagnostic lens if available, evaluate fit, perform OR. Select material you want to use Select care regimen
Slide 27-

RGP fitting- determining lens power and base curve Must have MR and Keratometry
Slide 28-

RGP fitting- problem
Slide 29-

RGP fit- troubleshooting Discomfort- lens edge (too thick, too sharp, poor blend) Excessive movement- too flat, limbus irritated. Steepen bc or increase diameter. Too tight- edema, discomfort, redness. Flatten BC, decrease diameter, flatten PC Vision-OR, flexure, decentration, deposits, incorrect power Poor wetting d/t partial blink Deposits- enzyme, surfactants, change material, plasma tx Flexure- Over K, increase CT, stiffer material, reduce OAD, reduce OZ Solution hypersensitivity- try one with different preservative.
Slide 30-

Solutions/Lens Care Surfactants to solubilize debris/mucous/lipids. Remove surface contaminants. RUB and RINSE off. Disinfection-killing infectious organisms Chemical,hydrogen peroxide, thermal, UV Enzyme cleaners remove deposits chemically bound to the lens (lipoprotein, denatured lysozyme) Papain, pancreatin, subtilisin
Slide 31-

Solutions/Lens Care Wetting agents- reduce wetting angle making lens more comfortable (rgp) q
Slide 32-

Follow up Lens care regimen, insertion and removal and wearing schedule should be outlined F/U in about one month with cls on 4h Visual acuity, OR, lens evaluation, remove lens and evaluate eye.
