I-Kone

 

I-Kone: A Third Generation GP Lens for Keratoconus

Indication

  • Keratoconus or other cases of central corneal ectasia consequent to corneal graft, PRK, LASIK or trauma.
  • When alternative RGP designs will not center or cause intolerable bearing forces on the central cornea

Description

  • Bi-surface aspheric design - both the anterior and posterior surfaces are aspheric.
  • Posterior surface made up of 4 conic Zones to conform to the shape of the conic cornea
    • First (base) and second Zones address the ectasia
    • Third and fourth Zones form the peripheral curve system that allow an alignment fit over the non-ectatic cornea and a comfortable edge lift
  • Adjust any of the 4 Zones to closely contour the cornea and provide optimum edge lift.
  • Pressure points reduced because the bearing forces are distributed over a larger area results in:
    • Better COMFORT
    • Better CENTRATION
  • Aspheric anterior surface computed to eliminate induced aberrations
  • Large optical zones provide better vision and reduce glare.
  • Available in Keratoglobus and Pellucid Marginal Degeneration designs
  • Most common diameters are 9.6 mm. and 10.4 mm. but available from 8.8 to 12.5 mm.
  • Made in advanced polymer materials exhibiting excellent oxygen permeability and wettability.

Diagnostic Lens Fitting Method

  • Apply Trial Lens with BC closest to STEEPEST K-reading
    • If K-Readings are not available or reliable, select the 56 D lens
  • Instill flourescein
    • Flat lens will show heavy central touch – Select Steeper BC
    • Steep lens will show excessive vault – Select Flatter lens
    • Optimal BC will show light touch or slight vault
  • Over-Refract and Order final lens Power
  • Evaluate Edge lift and Order in Standardized Steps – flatter or steeper - to provide optimum peripheral fit

Note: Severely distorted corneas may not show optimum corneal alignment with lenses in the diagnostic set. Please contact our consultants for design assistance, toll free at (877)533-1509. We can adjust the parameters of the lens to accommodate most situations.
