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.
