| What are symptoms of a cataract |
|
Definition
Brownish/yellow hue - Monet
Glare/Halos
Overall unclear vision -especially in low light
Cataracts are removed when they limit the patients quality of vision |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Extraoccular capsular extraction (most common)
Removal of lens without removing the bag for an intra-occular implant (IOL) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Intraoccular capsular extraction
Removal of the lens with the bag
Removing the bag removes possibility of having an implant |
|
|
Term
| With ECCE when you remove the crystalline lens what do you also stop |
|
Definition
| The patients ability to accommodate |

Definition
|
|
Term
| With ECCE the implants can be |
|
Definition
Single vision or Multi focal
MF is more expensive
Most patients will opt in for single vision |
|
|
Term
| With ECCE their is a how many week gap between surgeries |
|
Definition
2 weeks
One eye done 2 weeks then the other eye |
|

Definition
|
|
Term
| One of the main differences with ICCE patients and ECCE patients is |
|
Definition
ICCE needs UV protection because we removed the lens
BIG CONCERN |
|
|
Term
Because one eye is done one at a time during surgeries
You may see the doctor prescribe a RX and may offer |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
It tells us that patient has no or limited vision on that side that still has a cataract in it
The goal is to blur out vision on one side so they can enjoy the side that had the surgery and it's very clear |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Covering that one lens that still has the cataracts with something to blur the vision
Nail polish
Scotch tape
Only focus on seeing the one good eye |
|
|
Term
| Post cataract expectations |
|
Definition
Sudden improvement in clarity of vision
Colors are brighter
Less glare (with or without implant)
Pt with IOL may see glare halo but it goes away over time |

|
|
Term
| How do we make up for the loss of the 14 diopter lens |
|
Definition
Glasses more than likely
Vertex distance is correct and the panto is correct based on how the frame fits the patient
11-13 mm just clearing the lashes vertex distance usually |
|
|
Term
| When fitting an Aphake what should come into play when picking frames |
|
Definition
Frame choice
Smaller eye size
Round in shape
Adjustable pads to center eyes in frame and control vertex
Longer temples to support weight
Possible dark frame option to help mitigate oblique light |

Term
| For an Aphake what are the benefits of a close VX are |
|
Definition
Wider field of view in segment
Less magnification of the eyes
Smaller retinal image size (RIS) |

Term
| What is a lenticular design |
|
Definition
FRIED EGG
30-40 mm of optics on a plano carrier
Cheap (covered by medicare)
Higher decentration - may allow for free frame selection |
|
|
Term
| What is a full field design |
|
Definition
Wider field of view
More cosmetically pleasing than lenticular
Thinner/lighter (relatively)
Causes less magnification of the pt eyes |
|

Definition
FT22 x 11
ZERO BTS
No image jump |

Definition
| Featured 1.5 base in, in the segment only to help with convergence |

Jack in the box effect
Scotoma is a blind spot in these high caliber plus lens
Ring blind spot |

| What does past pointing mean |

Their depth perception
14 diopter change its jarring to say the least |

Term
| What is the jack in the box effect |
|
Definition
Outside of the optics
They see motion and as they turn to see the patient can disappear from the patients field of view |
