The
Highs and Lows of Soft Contact Lens Fitting
COPE #96573-CL
Event #130214
Expiration Date: 2/18/2028
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course will take a systematic approach to understanding the sagittal depth of the ocular surface in an effort to improve contact lens design and prescribing enhancing visual and physiologic outcomes. Case histories will be presented that demonstrate the measurement of the sagittal depth of the eye its integration into the design of contact lenses.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
• The role of corneal topography and anterior segment OCT in clinical practice to provide better insight to the ocular surface shape
• How the different corneal shape factors may influence ocular sagittal depth and the starting soft contact lens selection
• How to adjust a soft contact lens fit by utilizing the sagittal depth (eg. offer better lens centration, reduce lens tightness)
• How to utilize the sagittal depth charts to determine whether a patient would be most successful in a custom soft contact lens
