Study Notes

Contact Lens and Eye Anatomy Facts

  • Sclera, made of the same tissue as the cornea, is opaque instead of transparent.
  • Accommodation refers to the ability of the crystalline lens to change shape for focusing.
  • Soft contact lenses are commonly referred to as Hydrogel.
  • Toric lens designs correct astigmatism by incorporating multiple powers.

Eye Conditions and Measurements

  • A corneal abrasion is a break in the corneal epithelium resulting in pain, light sensitivity, and excessive tearing.
  • The average horizontal corneal diameter measures 14.0mm.
  • Keratoconus is a progressive condition leading to corneal thinning and bulging.

Contact Lens Types and Fitting

  • Disposable lenses are the only type not approved for use with solutions.
  • Base curve for an apical alignment lens fitted 0.50D steeper than flat K readings of 42.00 @ 180/ 43.00 @ 90 is 41.50D.
  • Two basic scales on a corneal topographer are absolute and normalized.

Light Sensitivity and Refractive Power

  • The crystalline lens contributes approximately 15.00D to 16.00D of refractive power.
  • Two-thirds of the eye’s refractive power is provided by the cornea.

Handling and Evaluating Contact Lenses

  • Visibility tints help in handling lenses without altering natural eye color.
  • Slit Lamp is the equipment used for evaluating the fit of contact lenses.
  • Areas of bright green in fluorescein patterns indicate space between the cornea and contact lens.

Modifications and Lens Characteristics

  • Scleral indentation indicates a tightly fitted soft lens.
  • Use ample water and polish to reduce damage risk during GP lens modifications.
  • Modifications that increase overall diameter cannot be performed in an office setting.

General Knowledge on Eyes and Lenses

  • The total refractive power of the average eye is 60 diopters.
  • The cornea's epithelium layers regenerate every three to seven days.
  • Every 0.25D of diopter change approximates a 0.05mm change in radius when converting to mm.
  • Prism ballast is used to increase the mass at the bottom of bifocal contact lenses to prevent rotation.
  • The term "continuous wear" refers to soft contact lenses that can be worn overnight.
