GPS AND HIGH ASTIGMATISM With > 2.00D corneal cylinder the following problems can occur with a spherical GP: • Flexure • Decentration • Corneal Warpage • Corneal Desiccation • Lens Awareness
Sphere lens on toric eye… …toric lens on same toric eye.
BACK SURFACE VS. BITORIC • Both indicated with ≥ 2.50D corneal cyl • Back surface toric only lenses have a toric back surface (identical in curvature to a bitoric) as verified with a radiuscope • Back surface torics induce a residual cylinder equal to about one-half of the back surface cylinder of the lens due to differences in refractive indices between lens and tear film
BACK SURFACE TORIC: INDUCED CYLINDER • BST induces cylinder equal to 1/2 of back surface cylinder • If there is 3.5D of back surface cyl, induced is (-1.50) to -1.75D x 180; this will be present via over-refraction • On lensometer there will 3/2 x back surface cylinder or 5.25D
Back Surface Toric • BST is the lens of choice when the corneal toricity is ATR and the RA is one half the back surface toricity (ie., patient has ATR cylinder and the refractive cyl = 1 1/2 times the back surface toricity)
BITORICS • When you correct for induced cylinder (ie, in previous example, add +1.75 x 180) on front surface, you have a bitoric design • Provides good centration; should fit like a spherical lens on low astigmatic cornea • Provides good vision • Results in good corneal integrity • When induced cylinder (only) is corrected, this results in a spherical power effect

tear lens • 43.25 41.00 Rx: -1.00-3.00 X 180 K’s: 41.00/ 44.00 @ 090 OAD: 9.2 mm Contact Lens -4.00 -3.25 44.00 -0.75 -1.00 plano -1.00 41.00 Order: BC: 41.00 (8.23mm)/ 43.25 (7.80mm) BVP: -1.00/ -3.25 Difference in base curve (D): 2.25 D Difference in lens powers: 2.25D Conclusion:Spherical Power Effect Design
BASE CURVE RADII DETERMINATION • Base curve radii are not typically equal to the K values: • For example: if K’s are 44.00/47.50; • Select BCR = 43.50/46.50 • This allows for a slight amount of toricity which assists in tear pumping and centration
DIAGNOSTIC FITTING • Polycon SPE (Ciba Vision) is an excellent diagnostic set (or a similar set from a CLMA member laboratory) • Three different sets: 2D, 3D & 4D back surface cylinder • Recommend 3D set: (40.50/43.50 to 45/48D in 0.50D steps; powers = Pl/-3.00D)
SPE DIAGNOSTIC FITTING • Select diagnostic lens 0.12 to 0.50D FTK • Perform spherical over-refraction • Add OR to powers in the flat and steep meridians of diagnostic lens
SPE EXAMPLE K’s = 44.00/47.50 Spectacle Rx = -3.75 - 4.00 x 180 Vertex = -3.75 - 3.50 x 180 Diagnostic Lens = 43.50/46.50; Pl/-3.00D Over Refraction = -3.25DS Final Contact Lens: 7.76/7.26; -3.25/-6.25
CYLINDER POWER EFFECT • If the patient has residual astigmatism resulting in blurred vision with spherical OR, a cylinder power effect bitoric is recommended • This lens must remain stable on the eye as any rotation could blur vision
CYLINDER POWER EFFECT POWER DETERMINATION (Silbert): If axes are at or near the principal corneal meridians, add the appropriate power in the refraction to the air power of the corresponding meridian in the diagnostic lens, then order.
CPE EXAMPLE • +0.50 - 4.00 x 170; 42/45 • DX SPE = 41.50/44.50, Pl/-3.00D If VA = 20/30, perform Sph-Cyl OR OR: +1.00 - 1.00 x 170 20/20 Add +1.00 to plano = +1.00D Add Plano to -3.00 = -3.00D
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: PERIPHERAL CURVES < 4D corneal toricity, use spherical pc’s add 1mm to mean value of BCR for SCR add 2mm to SCR for peripheral curve radius • If > 4D corneal toricity = toric pc’s add 1mm to BCR for secondary curve radii add 2mm to SCR for peripheral curve radii
