FITTING STEPS

PRESCRIPTION%20NEW-01_edited.png

STEP  1 : SCREENING

EASY CALCULATION

  • Effectiveness is related to “Target Power” and “Shape of cornea”.

  • Generally, the higher the Target power is, the less effective it is.

  • Our recommended way to judge applicability is the calculation formula:   

 

(Flatter meridian) - (Target power)  ≧ 39.00

 

For example, if the Flatter meridian is 44.00 D, target power under -5.00 D

STEP 2 : 1st TRIAL LENS CHOICE

DETERMINE THE 'FITTING CURVE' REFERRING  TO AVERAGE OF KRT DATA

Fitting Curve ≒ AVG K (45.00)
Target Power  = ?
Diameter = 10.6 (Standard Size)

CALCULATE THE DIFFERENT OF THE FITTING CURVE & THE FLATTER MERIDIAN

Target Power ≒ S + (Flat K-Fit Curve)

​

Referring to KRT data:

Target Power  =-4.50+(44.25-45.00) = -5.25

 

Final Target Power = -5.50*

*Adjusted by measuring the refractive power while wearing the lens.

 

1st Choice Trial lens as follow :

Fitting Curve (FC) = 45.00

Target Power (TP) = -5.50D

Diameter (D) = 10.6mm

STEP 3 : JUDGEMENT

  • Criteria for the fitting condition after 15 minutes of lens wear

  • Lens is proper centered.

  • Lens move 1~2 mm at blinking.

  • A proper doughnut pattern is achieved, and also the optical zone as wide as 3 mm.

  • Vision correction needed by patient should be obtained and stable, and wearing feeling is comfortable.

GOOD FITTING

  1. Criteria for fitting condition after 15 minutes of lens wear

  2. Lens is proper centered.

  3. Lens move 1~2 mm at blinking.

  4. A proper doughnut pattern is achieved, and also the optical zone as wide as 3 mm.

  5. Vision correction needed by patient should be obtained and stable, and wearing feeling is comfortable.

FITTING1-01.png

TIGHT FITTING

  • narrow optical zone

  • less moving

  • insufficient tear exchange

FTIING2-01.png

LOOSE FITTING

  • the lower edge of the lens has clearance from the cornea

  • Loose moving

  • tear pass through the reverse curve (channelling)
