Faced with an overwhelming choice of lens designs, materials and fitting techniques, today’s busy practitioners need a simple-to-fit, cost-effective RGP lens that delivers predictable results in the maximum number of patients, whether they’re new to RGP lens wear or accustomed wearers.
Enter ICON – the new lens that provides a reassuringly simple and convenient solution to your RGP fitting needs.
Now you can upgrade patients from older
The ideal option when you prefer to fit aspheric lenses rather than
- Fitting to the flattest keratometry reading will provide an acceptable first fit lens, regardless of corneal radius
- Produces a consistent fluorescein pattern under the central zone with approximate 0.5mm fluorescein band at the periphery. Movement of 1-2mm on blinking is ideal
- A flat fit (below)will show excessive movement and a fluorescein pattern demonstrating excessive peripheral standoff
- ICON designs maintain a CAT profile across the core lens powers. Outside the range (- 11.00 to +16.00D) ICON back surface design can be applied but this will fall outside the CAT design criteria
- A steep fit (below) will reveal fluorescein pooling under the lens centre, inadequate peripheral standoff and reduced lens movement
- Larger lens diameters usually deliver better lens stability and centration, so 9.80mm diameter lenses will be supplied unless otherwise stated or requested by the practitioner
