A/MF
A patient presents with K's of 41.00/44.75. The practice informs you that the patient has keratoconus. If fitting with SynergEyes A the initial BC would be…

Over-vault
A patient with forme fruste KC has been fit with SynergEyes A. The Dr. informs you that the NaFl pattern exhibits a bubble superiority, as well as touch inferiorly. Staying with SynergEyes A, what adjustment might you try?
Steeper BC
In SynergEyes A the relationship between the "standard" skirt curves and the BC's is...
1.0 D and 1.3 D flatter than BC
Compared to SynergEyes A, the GP in The KC design is…
Aspheric
The PS lens is unique in that it allows us to adjust for three different fitting variables. Name them…
BC, SC, Lift
When initially instructing a patient on the insertion of the ClearKone lens, the most important thing to impress upon them is…
Completely filling the lens with PF saline
A patient who has been fit with ClearKone is constantly aware of the lens. NaFl evaluation shows a pattern the same color from edge to edge. What adjustment would you consider?
Flatten the skirt
SynergEyes A Multifocal offers two zone sizes. What are they, and how are they utilized?
1.9mm and 2.2mm - Oftentimes used in a modified mono with smaller zone on dominant eye and larger zone on nondom
An office calls in requesting a KC lens with parameters of 6.2/8.1. What would you tell them?
Those parameters are not available. We could do a 6.3/8.2 or a 6.1/8.2. Ask about K's and help them figure out which BC would be most appropriate.
How would one determine the initial BC and skirt curve of a PS lens?
BC = mean K, SC = 8.6
