End of Lecture, You Will Be Able To… • Determine good candidates for toric lenses • Determine most appropriate toric lens Hard and Soft Contact Lenses • Differentiate soft toric stabilization techniques for Astigmatism • Assess soft toric fits: power, rotation • Know GP toric options Jeffrey J. Walline, OD PhD The Ohio State University College of Optometry • Empirically fit GP toric lenses Toric Market When Soft Versus GP Toric? • Soft toric • Can’t tolerate GP lens • Corneal toricity ≠ refracve asgmasm • Example • K Readings: 43.00 / 44.00 @ 090 MC • Refraction: ‐2.00 ‐3.00 X 180 20/15 • Example • K Readings: 42.00 / 44.00 @ 090 MC • Refraction: ‐3.50 ‐1.50 X 045 20/15 • Nichols, et al. Contact Lens Spectrum Jan 2014 When Soft Versus GP Toric? Who Are Better Candidates? • GP • Both: Poor VA with spherical lens • Corneal toricity = refractive astigmatism • Soft: GPs difficult to fit or not tolerated • Poor vision with soft toric • ATR astigmatism, discomfort, 3‐9 staining • Poor fit with spherical GP • 3‐9 staining • Excessive bearing • Spectacle blur • Reduce flexure 1 Who Are Worse Candidates? What Affects Fit of Soft Toric Lens? • Cylinder greater than sphere • Gravity • Example • Surface tension / tear film quality • ‐4.00 ‐6.00 X 090 • Lid / lens interaction • +0.25 ‐3.50 X 180 • Watermelon seed effect OS • Oblique cylinders • Powers in each meridian -4.25 -2.00 • Example Lens interact w/ thick • ‐3.00 ‐2.00 X 045 meridian and rotate lens temporally Watermelon Effect Stabilization Techniques Prism Truncation Thin Zones Peri-ballast Picture courtesy of Jason Nichols Prism Ballast Prism Ballast 100 • 0.75∆ to 2∆ • Oxygen Transmissibility Map • Stabilized by 80 • Thickness difference • Weight (very minimal) 60 • Disadvantage 40 • ↓ O2 transmissibility • Discomfort lid‐lens interact 20 • Visual problems with unilateral • Vertical prism 0 2 Truncation Thin Zones • Truncated lens lines up with lower lid • Thinning at top and bottom of lens Peri‐Ballast Stabilization Techniques • Minus carrier over entire lens then thin • Affect lens design superiorly • Physiological considerations • No prism in optic zone Fitting Soft Torics Fitting Soft Torics • Diameter • Lens should settle ~15 mins • Typically slightly larger • Assume first trial will have no rotation • Base curve • Typically no choice; may consider steeper first • Power • Trials rarely have exactly what you need • Use power cross and vertex each meridian • If limited cylinder power, adjust sphere • If cylinder power not available, lower power 3 Fit Assessment Assessing Rotation • Centration (coverage) • Bottom of lens Same as spherical lenses • Movement • As you look at lens OD • Orientation • Nasal (must indicate eye) • Rotation must be consistent • Right • Wait until lens settles • Counter‐clockwise • Assess re‐orientation • Assess rotation • Don’t guess!
