MOONLENS calculator<\/a> lets ECPs enter topography data to help with lens fittings. \u201cWith that you can basically build a lens that you know is going to work for a patient right off the bat,\u201d he says. \u201cRight now we\u2019re getting to the point where, if you\u2019re not having 90 percent first-fit success rate, your lens design is not competitive. And we\u2019ve certainly been north of the 90 percent range.\u201d<\/p>\nPatient acceptance is high, Dr. Turpin says. \u201cI think the thing they really like about it is the ease of it. It\u2019s about as close to a custom lens as you can get, which instills a lot of confidence in the patient. They get a lens they know is designed for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
As far as equipment, having a corneal topographer is key to building a lens, Dr. Turpin says. However, \u201cwith this lens you can design it strictly based on a patient\u2019s refraction and keratometry values. As long as you have the ability to measure those two things, you can do it. So if you\u2019re interested in OrthoK but don\u2019t want to make a huge initial investment, you can still try it,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
Patients also cite the lenses\u2019 comfort, says Chad Rosen, OD, MBA, FAAO, an associate professor at the Michigan College of Optometry who works in both classroom laboratories and the department\u2019s contact lens clinic.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo far we\u2019ve had some really good success with it. A lot of patients who come in have been in other lens designs before, and one of the common things we come across is that people noted there is a difference in comfort,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
Some users might find it more comfortable than their previous lenses because of the MOONLENS technology allowing for specific adjustments in fitting, according to Dr. Rosen.<\/p>\n
After fitting a lens, they schedule the patient for an immediate morning follow-up so they can check the fit after the patient has slept in it. Dr. Rosen also notes \u201cpretty good results\u201d when fitting the lens on patients with corneal astigmatism to 2.00D or 2.50D.<\/p>\n
In presenting the MOONLENS to pediatric patients and parents, \u201cwe try to focus on the whole process of myopia control,\u201d he says. That means discussing a child\u2019s screen time and outdoor and social activities. \u201cWe tell parents, \u2018We have the ability to slow this down.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Rosen’s team explains the importance of axial length, how the eye changes, and how OrthoK works to reshape the front surface of the eye during overnight wear. \u201cParents, especially if they are myopic, relate pretty well,\u201d he says. They also appreciate that the lenses are used at home where they can help be sure they\u2019re being used correctly.<\/p>\n
MOONLENS is made in Boston lens materials and as part of the Bausch+Lomb Vision Shaping Treatment\/VST Program, professional training\/certification is required to prescribe MOONLENS.
