The most efficient technology for measuring central island OrthoK defect
The most efficient technology for measuring central island OrthoK defect
Aaron Wolf, OD, FAAO, FSLS, FIAOMC
Corneo-scleral profilometry may be a superior corneal imaging technology for the detection of subtle focal corneal shape defects from orthokeratology due to its precision of elevation data and the absence of data interpolation in profilometry maps.

Two curves are better than one: Management of post-refractive myopia
Sheila Morrison, OD, MSc, FAAO, FSLS, Alia Cappellani, OD, FAAO, FSLS, Dipl. ABO; Vanessa Lin, OD; Andrea Lasby, OD, FAAO, FSLS
This novel custom soft, oblate, dual base curve lens design was effective for several post-refractive contact lens fittings. Further study will be needed to elucidate impact of other lens fitting parameters used in conjunction with custom-soft dual base curve designs.

Peripheral corneal data is highly relevant
Peripheral corneal data is highly relevant
Dr Rolando Ortiz, OD; Reinier Stortelder, BOptom ; Karin Brown Balvert, FBDO CL
Using real elevation data of the peripheral cornea can reduce the number of refits for the Paragon CRT orthokeratology lens and the chair time. This study could be repeated with larger sample sizes and involving multiple fitters to minimize fitter bias.

Visual Rehabilitation with scleral lens in a patient with corneal scarring and pinguecula
Visual Rehabilitation with scleral lens in a patient with corneal scarring and pinguecula
Karin Brown Balvert, FBDO CL, MBCLA; Joana Marta, Orthoptist, Contact Lens Specialist
With larger diameter scleral lenses, pingueculas can be hard to fit, but with the improving technology in the labs, and accurate measurements of the scleral surface, it was possible to get a good fitting lens.

The Need for Speed
The Need for Speed
John Samssedi, OD, FAAO; Brian Tompkins, BSc (Hons), FCOptom, FBCLA
Both nystagmus patients showed toricity with the rule and the toricity increases as the chord length increases. As a result, the scleral lens approach for both these patients was the best approach.

Incorporating a Bi-Elevation Design for Improved Scleral Lens Centration
Incorporating a Bi-Elevation Design for Improved Scleral Lens Centration
Germán Aparicio, OD; Lindsay A. Sicks, OD, FAAO, FIACLE, FSLS
Scleral lens centration is influenced by several factors including the corneal sagittal height, limbal shape, and scleral shape. All these factors can be assessed using corneal and scleral Profilometry.

Considerations when comparing scleral shape differences
Considerations when comparing scleral shape differences
Reinier Stortelder, BOptom
Corneal difference maps are a popular method to track and trace the development of corneal diseases as well as the condition of the cornea post operative. In this poster a couple of considerations are discussed when comparing sagittal height (SAG) maps.

A healthy post-graft with a unique scleral lens design
Barry Leonard OD; Reinier Stortelder, BOptom
Fitting scleral lenses on post graft patients is a tricky thing and often a smaller gas permeable lens is preferred to avoid oxygen issues. But obviously, a scleral lens has many things to offer to these eyes.
