Patients w/ myopia or hyperopia with or without astigmatism Soft toric wearers desiring more consistent vision and improved acuity RGP wearers looking for improved comfort Active patients (athletes) RGP portion never touches cornea Junction lift area corresponds to peripheral curve area of an RGP, with a slightly more modest lift Prolate asphericity of Duette RGP coupled with reverse geometry of skirt will most often produce an ideal lens-to-cornea alignment when the selected base curve is ~1D steeper than flat K. Who is Duette not meant for? Keratoconus or PMD Post refractive surgery with irregular astigmatism Corneal injuries or scars IDEAL DUETTE FIT HYBRID LENS TECHNOLOGIES SYNERGEYES DUETTE Central Clearance: Thin NaFl Layer Observed What are our prescribing objectives ? Alignment fit with RGP vaulted over the cornea Soft skirt landing to create thin lacrimal lake How do we accomplish this ? Initial base curve selection from nomogram Fit adjustments controlled by skirt curve Skirt too flat -> central bearing and adherence Skirt too steep -> focal junction bearing and discomfort Pattern of ideal fit exhibits central clearance with thin band of slightly more peripheral clearance .
