Design

  • Mini Scleral

  • Manufactured in Boston XO and XO2 materials.

  • Dynamic bearing zone rests on the sclera, eliminating centration and comfort issues.


Candidates

  • Post refractive surgery patients

  • Keratoplasty patients

  • Keratoconus

  • Any patients that has demonstrated comfort intolerance with traditional Corneal GP's.


Fitting

  • Two main diameters in design: 15mm, and 16mm

  • Central K readings often of little value, starting point is 2 diopters steeper than flat k.

  • Steepen lenses to achieve limbal vaulting, without compromising health of scleral vessels.

  • Good fit is achieved with 150 microns of initial central clearance, allowing lens to settle into eventual 100 microns of central clearance.

  • Once this vaulting is achieved, evaluate periphery to check for vessel sealoff.

  • After fit is validated, over-refract and customize through Valley Contax.
