2015年2月16日 · Fitting rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses is not always easy or clear cut. Here are quick types of adjustments that can be made to improve the fit of an RGP. Here is a basic cheat sheet to troubleshooting that problematic RGP patient.

The RGP fitting process involves a thorough eye examination, lens selection based on eye measurements, trial fittings and adjustments before finalizing the prescription. This precision ensures maximum comfort and clear vision .

2003年1月15日 · The RGP Lens Institute (RGPLI) offers numerous educational resources to assist practitioners in designing, fitting, and troubleshooting spherical GP lenses (see Table 4). You can access them via the RGPLI website, www.rgpli.org .

PERIPHERAL FIT: Peripheral clearance should encroach up to 1mm in from the edge of the lens in the flatter meridian but may be more in the steeper meridian in toric eyes. The lens should move adequately on blinks and eye movement but should not cross the limbus

The assessment of RGP lens fit involves the evaluation of both static and dynamic criteria. The dynamic fit should be assessed with the slit lamp using white light (ideally with a diffuser), low magnification and with sufficient illumination to aid observation …

Resources on fitting and problem-solving GP lenses are available at www.gpli.info. SOFT TORIC LENSES . Before the Fit Patients with as low as 0.75D refractive cylinder are often good candidates. If a patient has ≥ 0.75D cylinder and is wearing a spherical lens, provide them with a toric lens to compare the quality of vision.

Rigid gas-permeable (RGP) contact lens fitting is often regarded as more complex than soft lens fitting, but in reality, the number of de-cisions practitioners must make is essential-ly the same when judging the fit of either lens. In addition, modern RGP lens designs can fit a wide range of the normal ametropic popula-

2022年1月15日 · Alingment– Fluorescein Pattern – The ideal RGP lens should show alignment of the back surface of the lens with the cornea over most of the surface. The alignment of the lens back surface allows maximum tear exchange with minimum pressure over the cornea.

2021年5月5日 · Three main areas should be considered: 1. Initial data gathering. 2. Lens Fit Analysis. 3. Ordering of the rigid gas permeable (RGP) lens. 1. Initial data gathering: • Recent routine refraction – note the visual acuity and back vertex distance. • Full eye examination including a slit-lamp assessment.

This comprehensive guide provides an in-depth understanding of rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens fitting‚ covering basic principles‚ lens designs‚ fitting parameters‚ and specific considerations for various conditions. It explores RGP fitting techniques for keratoconus‚ myopia‚ astigmatism‚ and the use of bitoric lenses.
