The second trial lens: Z Night Lens (NKL) 8°/ Height = 0.54 / © 10.2 mm / Target 6 D / Menicon Z er than the previous lens) 8C9.2 ager (effectively 30 um flatt | After first overnight lens wear: Fluorescein pattern revealed a wider area of apical bearing with a narrower tear reservoir. Edge lift and tear exchange were both adequate, Lens movement. was good with smooth recovery. Fluorescein showed ‘ears flowing in and out of the fenestrations | Topographical response showed resolution of central island Residual Rx: -4.50 DS (VA: 6/9) Corneal health: Grade 1 central stain Management: Stopped lens for 3 days. Resumed lens Wear after recovery of corneal health was confirmed, Coy wear ths lens and observe if further myopie is possible ntiNued to "eduction REMARK: Since there was central omeal stain ang te corneal tissue across the trestment Zone Was not even after the first night trial the acuity was compromised, It should improve with continuation of lens wear, Conclusion from this case: , A false central island may resolve with time. Lens wear may continue ifthe ocular health is not Compromised. Reducing the lens sag can help to resolve central island ifthe situation does not improve a Figure 2.14b Tangential map for the same patient as in Fig igure 2.149 Use anlahmap to assess the general profile of the cornea * Spherical cornea shows gradual flattening towards the limbus (Figure 2.6) Astigmatic cornea will show bow-tie pattern * Vertical bow-tie pattern: with-the- * Record any localized defect (.9, id mari *) (Figures 2.5e, 2.8) or irregularity (e.g, tilted comea) (Figures 2.54) Figure 2.13 The horizontal iris diameter (HVID) is determined by drawing a line from limbus to limbus passing through the apex (yellow line) TLE | map captured by Medmont.
