Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of adapting the nerve ending on the lid margin to GP lenses?

  • To maintain exposure of the limbus
  • To allow the patient to get used to the GP lenses (correct)
  • To prevent waste products from contaminating the tear layer
  • To decrease tear exchange under the lens

Why is it important for the diameter of the lens to cover the entire cornea and go over the limbus?

  • To prevent irritation of the limbal region (correct)
  • To ensure exposure of the limbus which is good for eye health
  • To allow for 0.5mm movement of the lens
  • To diminish the limbal area ability to produce stem cells

What happens if a 14mm diameter lens is too large for a patient?

  • The edges of the lens will not sit properly under the upper and lower lid margin (correct)
  • The lens will displace upward, exposing the inferior limbal region
  • The lens will not adapt to the patient's eye
  • The patient will experience air bubbles in areas where base curve is excessively steep
