Mini-Scleral Design - MSD
• Large RGP• Vaults the cornea, rests on the
sclera.• Creates a fluid filled environment.• Can be used to treat any corneal
condition.• Can be used to treat other anterior
segment conditions.
MSD - Advantages
• Very Stable lens.
• Fluid filled environment.
• Improved comfort.
• Good visual acuity.

Practice Management Issues
• Setting Fees.• Bill for services performed.• Insurances and fee collection.• Appropriate diagnostic and
treatment equipment.– Topography/corneal mapping.– Pachymetry.– Fitting sets.

A New Option for Keratoconus
Keratoconus Intacs -1 Day PKP -1 Week
Contact Lens Intolerant Keratoconus Steep K ‘s, 45 to 60 Changing refractions, eyes irritated, frequent visits/re-
fits Lenses not providing functional vision
Outright failure Shortened wearing time Inability to achieve 20/40
“keratoconus personality” exacerbated Apprehensive about transplant
Active, younger or risk averse
Objective - Bridge the gap between frustration and (PKP) “the point of no
return”
Reshape the Cornea for CL Success

INTACS Design Features• Precision manufactured

•Unique hexagonal cross-section design with 7mm wide optical zone
•Positioning holes for manipulation

How INTACS Work…
Inserts placed at 75% corneal depth
Inserts separate corneal lamellae
Separation shortens corneal arc length
Central cornea flattens
Increased flattening achieved with thicker segments

INTACS - PKP Comparison
PKP
Significant loss of endothelial cells
Permanently weakened cornea with risk of additional trauma
Outcomes: unpredictable, often unstable
INTACS
Endothelial cell loss, not clinically significant1
Provides structural integrity, PKP still an option without complication
Outcomes: predictable, case dependent
1Two-Year Endothelial Cell Assessment following INTACS implantation, Azar et al, J Refract Surg. 2001 Sept-Oct
3 lenses for most of the situations
The most common cones : nipple and ovale
Lenses have to follow as close as possible this very prolate cornea in order to :
– respect the cornea– Stabilize properly– Be comfortable
Need to have « very » steep lenses in the center that get flatter « quickly ».
Good center and periphery
Rose K PrincipleLens changes with the cone
evolution • When a keratoconus is getting more and
more advanced, the apex of the cone is getting steeper but the periphery remains the same.
• For a known apex of the cone, the periphery is often the « same » fom one patient to another : Paul Rose’s Statistic and mathematic models : correlation between BC and slope
Rose K lenses principle
• For each BC that respects the apex of the cone, an unique AEL will be associated to it– Unique Optic Zone– Unique Peripheral curves
World sales indicate that the original AELrepresent 65% of sold lenses
For a 8.70mm diam.
Axial Ege Lift (AEL) Edge Lift (EL)
• Rather than talking about AEL in mm which is difficult to evaluate for the fitter, Paul Rose simplified and reduced this notion to a simple number without unit : Edge Lift (EL)• EL = 0 = standard corresponds to the AEL
associated to the curve• EL > 0 correspond to lenses that are flatter in
periphery than standard• EL < 0 correspond to lenses that are steeper in
periphery than standard
available EL+3.00 à -1.3 / 0.1
•EL Standard “0” 65%
•EL “quick” +1.0 20%
•EL “slow” -0.5 10%
•Others 5 to 10%
The majority of Rose K are done with 3 EL
Trial Box
• Std EL for all lenses (but AEL unique for each BC)
• Powers increase in steep curves : the more advanced is the cone, the more myopia there is important for assessing precisely centration and mobility .
• Diameter decreases when the cone is getting advanced (difficult for large lenses to follow the very flat periphery)
Fitting steps
1. Keratometry from a keratometer or a topograph
7,00 mm 12⁰
6,60 mm 102⁰
Km. 6.80
Cyl. 3,00
2. In the trial box, choose the lens according to the rule :BC = av.K -0.10
3. Assess the contact at the apex of the cone• If too much contact (Flat) decrease BC• If not enough contact (Steep) increase BC
STEEP FLATOPTIMALE
Remarques
• Wait 1 minute before evaluation
• Analyze fluo pattern, lens centered
4. After finding the best BC– If too thin periphery (< 0.6 mm) EL
« quick » +1.0– If too wide periphery (> 0.8mm) EL
« slow » -0.5Too thin Optimal Too wide
5. Centration and mobility
Up riding.steep the lens.and/or reduce diameter .and/or reduce EL
Low riding.Flatten the lens.and/or increase diameter .and/or increase ELOptimal
6. Find the best sphere giving the best
Spherical Aberrations
• Peripheral rays are more refracted than central rays.
Ex : -7.00 in the center, -7.75 in periphery
• Those aberrations induced by the lens are higher when : – Pupil is large– Power of the lens is high
More benefits for high myopic patients
Rose K2 Advantages
• Easy to fit– Only 1 trial box : one lens name– Lens changes with the cone (AEL changes with BC)– Std EL works in main cases– 2 other EL slow and quick cover most of the
modifications– 6 steps fitting
• Maximum physiological respect– Material Z– Special Geometry for the best compromise
physiology/vision
• Vision– Control of the spherical aberrations
Indications
• Pellucid Marginal Degeneration - PMD• Keratoglobus• Post lasik ectasy, Post Graft
PMDDMP Globus Lasik
• reversed design for BC > 7.20• flatter the BC is, more reversed the design is• Larger optical zone • OZ decreases with BC• EL steeper than Rose K•Total diameter larger than graft diameter• Also used on post lasik ectasy
