NCLE VERTEX DISTANCE - CYLINDRICAL LENSES
Hi Sam , I passed my basic exam about 2 years ago and i wanted to write my advance exam. What should I focus on for the advance?
I would focus on the basics, honestly. If you have a strong understanding of basic fitting principles then you should be able to navigate the exam. Most of the questions require critical thinking and choosing the best option. Good luck!
For SHA I thought the cornea is steeper in the 180 meridian since +2.00 is more than Plano
@@abasiamaotu834 hey! Don’t confuse simple myopia with against the rule astigmatism. You can be SHA and ARA.
Why did you use 1 + in the compensation formular instead of 1-
Fluorescence enters damaged cells, fills gaps in epithelial surface caused by displacement of cells and enters intercellular spaces. Lissamine Green will attach to dead cells, degenerated cells and mucin.
Hi Sam, what if the question includes Gp lens base curve for example: Rx -2.50 -0.50 × 180 Ks 43.00 @ 180 / 43.50 @ 90 GP lens base curve 42.00D
Hey… Flatter add plus. In your example the flattest K is 43 and the lens is being fit one diopter flatter at 42, so… -2.50 + +1.00 = -1.50 sph (which can mask the .5 diopter corneal cyl) Hope this helps! Thanks for watching 🙂
@ thanks for breaking it down I can see it now 👍🏼
Thank you for the videos Sam!! I just passed my NCLE and would have been lost without you.
@@MelanieLimtiaco-c4g How awesome is this comment!?! 🙂 CONGRATS on your new certification!
Question. I just passed my ABO and I am starting my NCLE. What order do you recommend watching your videos?
@@geaniemiller6029 congrats on the ABO. Sounds like you already have a firm foundation. I honestly didn’t craft these videos in any particular order, but I think that watching the series on astigmatism would be helpfio to bridge the gap between general optics (ABO) and contact lenses. You’ve got this 💪🏼
I've been told that the NCLE is harder than the ABO just because where I work at, we don't really do fittings for the contacts we mainly focus on glasses. I am currently studying for the NCLE. Wish me luck!
@@jahjahgalang that’s a common thought - which makes sense; however, most of the ABO is theoretical and not what one would encounter in an optical on a daily basis anyways, sooooooooooo…. You’ve got this 💪🏼 Thanks for watching 📺
Is there another video similar to this topic that goes further in depth?
@@evanbanks3762 Hey thanks for watching! Check out: ruclips.net/video/jeZDUsNzSbU/видео.htmlsi=cY1uusaNlmhDJCo3
Thank you for this!
@@nydiarodriguez9968 you are quite welcome!
Passed my NCLE last week! Thank you for your videos, they helped me so much with studying.
@@Locraigan that is so awesome! I appreciate you taking the time to share with us.
Excellent video! But please correct me if I’m wrong, so to determine the rule of astigmatism you look for where the most minus is power lies across a particular meridian right?
@@Kevzcam that’s correct. The cornea is steepest in the meridian that requires the most minus (to offfset how steep the cornea is). So for WTR astigmatism we would expect the cornea to be steepest along or near the 90 meridian. This would require more (-) power to offset. Thanks for watching!
I passed this test 24 years ago. I hate contact lenses... gotta pass it again because I let my state license lapse. Thank you so much for helping me study.
@@hollyfraser3926 thanks for watching. You can do this 💪🏼
B (BUT) before S (Schirmer), quality before quantity
I know this video is old, but could you clarify the effective power of (-)7.50. Shouldn't lenses that move closer to the eye become less plus, more minus? I don't think you assign a +/- to the vertex distance cause it's just "millimeters moved." Then you'd have: -7.50/ 1 + (.013 x -7.50). This comes out to -8.31D of effective power instead of -6.85. Or am I wrong? Thanks. Your videos are awesome
I needed this reassurance. I passed my ABO with flying colors and have been sweating the NCLE because I’ve heard it’s so difficult. Glad to hear another opinion, as I take my NCLE in three weeks. 😅
@@leeannapowell1075 you’ll do just fine! Please keep us posted 🙂
Thanks for the video.
I had a question on the NCLE that threw me for a loop, it said the contact lens rotated to the "wearers left".. is it always the wearer or are you referring to the observer when you are explaining?
Thank you brother for the work that you’ve done to help people pass their tests. I passed my NCLE on Monday thanks to your help. Keep up the good work.
@@BushidoBrown76 awesome! Thanks so much and congrats 🎉🥳👏🏼
Your videos helped me pass my NCLE today!! Thanks Sam!!🎉
That’s so awesome! Thank you for letting us know 🙂 Go celebrate 🥳 🎉🍾
I can attest to this, the NCLE is more so fact based while the occasional formula/math problem that you have to think through does come up at some point, id say its easier than the ABO for the simple fact that the ABO requires constant calculations you have to memorize wayyy more than just sam and fap, you have to be able to calculate prism, dioptric power, constant transposition, ansi standard, decentration and soo much more.
What contact lens would be prescribed to a Spectacle rx -10.50 +3.50 @45 refracted at 16mm. Do you have video on similar problems?
question ? what BC should be ordered for RGP lens fitted 0.75D flatter than k? 42.25D @155 / 43.5D @65 . I did use the formula! not getting it still way off.
would love more videos on this topic especially like: EXAMPLE LIKE -2.75 -1.25 X85. SETTLED AT 10 OCLOCK . YOUR VIEDO HAVE HELPED ME ON OTHER NCLE TOPICS IT JUST THIS ONE I AM STUCK ON. THANK YOU
-2.75 -1.25 X 55
still lost sorry I have -4.75 -2.50 @ 20 . settled at 5 o'clock meaning -30 turning left ( @20 -30 ) = -10.
Will this be on the practical too?
Hey! My videos aren’t geared towards the practical simulations, HOWEVER; the information in them will definitely prepare you for the NCLEP multiple choice questions and help you reason through some of the practical elements. Thanks for watching 😊📺
I just would like to say thank you . I took my ncle today and passed . I watched some of your videos and they were very helpful !
Way to go! Thank you for sharing. Time to celebrate 🎉🥳👏🏼
So what if the @is 170 and you have to add 45 ?
With an Rx 180 = 0 So, 170 + 45 = 35 170 to 180 (I.e. 0) to 010 to 020 to 030 to 035
I also told my co workers to watch your videos and subscribed
YOUR THE MAN SAM! I passed my NCLE exam today thanks to watching all your videos daily!! Your my HERO
@@exm7623 that’s so awesome! I appreciate you sharing 🙂
I took my ABO on the 8th of August and passed it. Now I'm gearing up to take my NCLE on September 20th. Thank you for uploading these videos to help me review, as I'm going through an apprenticeship. I'm sure that with hard work, my study guides, and your videos I'll do well. I know you helped me with the ABO, because it was with your videos that I finally started to understand vertex distance!
@@jeanmcwilliams1068 I really appreciate you taking time to write this comment! You’ve got this 💪🏼
I passed the NCLE thanks to your videos, you're a phenomenal teacher, Sam!
@@zerohiryu3948 CONGRATS! That awesome. Thank you for sharing 🙂
I'm taking the NCLE basic tomorrow, so watching your videos will hopefully help. Thanks for making them. My employer pays for an online training program, but your ABO review booklet from 2016 was a big help to prepare for that test last year.
@@sunflowerhelen9933 how exciting! You’ve got this 💪🏼 Let us know when you pass 💯
Just letting you know I passed the test this morning and several of the questions were about things I didn't know before I saw them in your videos. So thanks again!
@@sunflowerhelen9933 yay! CONGRATS. Thanks so much for letting us know 😊
I take my NCLE exam August 24th here in Nashville! Nervous fingers crossed! Watching all your videos and going through optician works. Have done this for 22 years just now doing my Tn license.
You’ll knock this test out, no problem! Thanks for watching and keep us updated! 😊
Passed my NCLE exam this morning. Thanks for your help
@@TheFalconEye26 Congrats! Way to go 🎉👏🏼🍾
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. The GOAT
@@SG-qh4jz 😊 thanks
Would it ever be appropriate to send a pt home with a gp lens empirically fit without checking the lenses with a slit lamp and nafl, .
No lol Even if the data suggests a lens would be a perfect fit, no two eyes are exactly the same so it’s always best practice to check the fit to make sure it’s not tight, flat etc… on the cornea. Thanks so much for watching 📺
Thank you for explaining this so simply I can finally understand it. Please consider doing videos for the ABO exam, I have coworkers training for it and they are having difficulty with it.
Thank you for your encouraging words! I wouldn’t be surprised if I ended up diversifying into more ABO-type content!
Hahahah 🎉nice!! Good job kids!!
Thank you so much for these videos! 😅
Amazing vedio thank you
Thanks my guy🕺🏾🔥
Btw great content on these v ideos
How do you calculate cpc values?
I have a question about multiplying the change in vertix dist and -10. It should be -1.12. The answer would then be positive and that isn't right. So what is the explanation here? I saw someone else had mentioned this, but I did not see an answer!
I believe I figured it out! He explains that we use + VD because we are moving closer to the eye, but viewing the VD as the patient, we are moving in a minus direction. I think he just switched the signs at the beginning filling out the formula, if that makes sense.
how did you get 8.12 at 90?
He mentions you have to compensate for vertex distance, and he has videos that go into that further.
Thanks for the video! Just wanted to let you know I passed my ncle! Thanks so much for all your awesome work ❤
So glad to hear. Congrats! 😃🎉👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you for the information. 👍🏼
You’re welcome! Hope it benefits you in your studies.
This video really helped me to understand why Vertex distance is compensated !! I would like to learn a formula as well though.
Hey! Thanks for watching. I have other vertex distance videos covering the formula 😀
Thank you for sharing your knowledge simple way
I appreciate you watching! 😊
