Fitting advices for FlexMed

We suggest to use our trial set

Total diameter: Ø Cornea − 2.0 mm (Standard 9.80 mm)
Base curve: “r0 (Topographie) = rcfl
Sphere: eyeglasses sphere (Vertex power = 0)

Advice:

If the adaptation is not satisfactory, try Orbiflex SxS for fine tuning
Order the definitive contact lens on line using the form “Back surface design”

Fitting advices for gas permeable contact lenses

Geometry

Insert trial lens for a minimum duration of 30 minutes. Ask patient to focus on the floor to minimise the foreign body sensation.
Evaluation of the subjective comfort.
Over-refraction
Slit lamp examination:
- Dynamic evaluation with diffuse illumination:
  - Eye in primary gaze and blinking normally.
  - Movement (speed) and position after blink and during eye movements:
    - Vertical movement
    - Horizontal movement
    - Centration
    - A good fitting lens will be evenly centered on the cornea (±0.5 mm)
    - The movement should be pronounced but not too big (1-2 mm)

Static evaluation with fluoroscopy:
- Evaluation when patient is looking straight ahead and the lens is centered on the cornea without impact of the eyelids on the lens: Evaluation of the tear film thickness under the lens; tear film < 10μm = no florescein is visible.
  - central optic zone with an aligned fluorescein pattern
  - inter-peripheral zone with small amount of fluorescein
  - peripheral zone with a band of increased fluorescein which will be needed for a good tear film exchange

First contact lens choice

Progression system and central optic zone (Zoc)

Reading zone choice

Determine if the vision is alternate (change of optic zones by translation) or simultaneous (change of optic zones by visual cortex selection):

Alternate vision: reading zone in periphery (most of the cases)
Simultaneous vision: reading zone in centre

Requirements	Bifocal Bf	Simple progressive Sp
Myopia Addition < 1.75 dpt	√
Myopia: Addition ≥ 1.75 dpt		√
Priority in distance vision	√
Priority in near vision	dominant eye	non dominant eye
Good contrast	√

Distance vision depends on centering, near vision on the movement (translation).
For a good translation, a movement from 1 to 2 mm is needed. It is affected by rO and ØT.
The fluoroscopy must show good optic zone alignment.

Central optic zone, position and diameter:

Recommendations for the 1^st choice: standard pupil (3.50–4.00 mm) with normal lighting

	Bifocal Bf	Bifocal Bf	Simple progressive Sp	Simple progressive Sp
Position	Centre near (CN)	Centre Distance (CD)	Centre near (CN)	Centre Distance (CD)
Dominant eye	2.25	3.75	2.50	4.00
Non-dominant eye	2.75	3.25	3.00	3.50
Undefined	2.50	3.50	2.75	3.75

For non standard pupil size or for distance/near preference, fit the Zoc in steps of 0.25 mm

Quality assurance

These materials are in conformity with the standard ISO 10993-1 defining the biocompatibility of materials.

SwissLens manufacturing process warrants this biocompatibility even after the manufacturing process, in particular without adding polish material. This standard is required by the quality assurance system of SwissLens.
