MethodsPatients
129 eyes
Patients with first prescription 77eyes
Patients having difficulties with their previous
lenses 52eyes
Keratoconus was diagnosed
by Rabinowitz indices on topography or
by characteristic objective findings

MethodsFitting methods
1. Initial BCR flat K minus 1/3 of theamount of Astigmatisms
2. With fluorescein pattern bychanging Trial Lenses
a. Minimal Apical Touch
b. Mid Peripheral Bearing
c. Edge3. Centering
4. Movement :1-1.5mm
5. Overrefraction : Prescribe diopters

MethodsModification of trial lenses
1. Determine Central BC First
2. If Edge High Lower type (-1,-2)
If Edge Low Higher type (+1,+2)
3. Oval Cone Enlarge OZD (0.5-1.0mm)
4. Decenter - Enlarge OZD (0.5-1.0mm)
5. High Inferior Edge Lift Steepen BC or Enlarge
