  2. QUAD SYM TECHNOLOGY • Based on Quadrant Specific Technology. • Can be the entire B.C. radii in one quadrant or just in the edge. • Is it the full piece of the pie or just the crust?

  3. DEFINE QUADRANTS • Quadrant (Quad) 1 is from 1:30 to 4:30 • Quadrant (Quad) 2 is from 10:30 to 1:30 • Quadrant (Quad) 3 is from 7:30 to 10:30 • Quadrant (Quad) 4 is from 4:30 to 7:30

  4. QUAD SYM B.C. DESIGN • Entire piece of the pie or quadrant. • Allows the lens to have up to 4 different base curves. • The lathe cuts a proper front radii to achieve correct power.

  5. QUAD SYM P.C. DESIGN • Just the edge or crust. • Allows for different edge lifts in all 4 quadrants. • Helpful with edge standoff at 6 o’clock. • Several steps flatter or steeper from Standard edge lift available.

  6. Quad Sym B.C. and Quad Sym P.C. designs can be combined when needed.

  7. HOW TO FIT • Start with a spherical large trial lens – Dyna Intra-Limbal. • Align at least one quadrant and do over refraction. • Document the fluorescein pattern in other quadrants. i.e. Are the other quadrants pooled or touching? • Provide topography. • Lab will design other quadrants based on this information

  8. LATHE LIMITATIONS • Larger diameters cannot be lathed much steeper B.C. than 5.80 mm. • 2.0 mm of spread in B.C.s is maximum. • Some lenses will need to be smaller to achieve needed B.C.s. i.e. 10.2 mm to 10.8 mm diameters

  9. FLUORESCEIN EVALUATION

  10. TOPOGRAPHY • Quad 1 and 4 are steep at 50.00 D. or 6.75 mm. • Quad 2 is moderate at 47.00 D. or 7.18 mm. • Quad 3 is Flat at 40.00 D. or 8.44 mm.

  11. HOW TO FIT • Start with 1 D. flatter than one quadrant. i.e. Quad 3 is 40.00 D. + 1 D. flatter = 39.00 D./ 8.65 mm. • Quad 1 is 49.00 D. + 1 D. flatter = 48.00 D./ 6.89 mm. • Get best alignment in a quadrant. The other quadrants will be steepened or flattened per topography by the lab. • Note the pooling or touch in the other quadrants. Regular Dyna Intra-Limbal on eye • Do over refraction.

  13. WHAT THE ORDER LOOKS LIKE • Base Curve: Quad Sym B.C. design. Q1 & 4 = 49.00, Q2 = 46.00, Q3 = 39.00 • Power: From trial fit 39:00, Total Power = -6.00 • Diameter: 11.2 with 9.4 OZ • Edge: Standard Lift

  14. QUAD SYM P.C. DESIGN • Trial fit with large diameter lens – Dyna Intra-Limbal • Fit with standard spherical B.C. but fitter sees edge problems. • Increase or decrease edge lift in each quadrant as needed. i.e. Trial of 7.50, -3.00, 11.2/9.4 fits well except there is pinch off at 12:00 o’clock and standoff at 6:00 o’clock. • Order: 7.50, -3.00, 11.2 / 9.4, Quad Sym P.C. of Quad 1 & 3 = Standard, Quad 2 = 2 steps Flat, Quad 4 = 4 steps Steep.

  15. QUAD SYM P.C. DESIGN Rx Lens Trial Lens B.C. 7.50 Pwr: -3.00 Dia: 11.2 with 9.4 OZ Edge Lift: Standard B.C. 7.50 Pwr: -3.00 Dia. 11.2 with 9.4 OZ Edge Lift: Q1 & 3 = Standard Q2 = 2 steps Flat, Q4 = 4 steps steep
