NCLE LENS ROTATION

This video covers the basics of contact lens rotation and the use of the acronym L.A.R.S in contact lens fitting. It is geared towards helping one in their studies to pass the NCLE examination (or a perfect refresher for any seasoned optician).

Hello, I’m confused with this concept. The example given, -3.00 -1.75 x 180, if the lens design rotated 20 degrees to the right, wouldn’t the new RX become -3.00 -1.75 x 160? Im trying to figure out the concept.

Sam, Thank you so much for your videos. Videos such as these are long over due. Excellent way of presenting.

[@nclecontactlenstraining]

Thanks, Nellie. I appreciate that!

[@davidwilliams4895]

I would like to say, THANK YOU for your video. Watching your video help me greatly in passing the NCLE. There are not a lot of video that directly focus on the NCLE, which is why I think what you do is so great. Much respect for you. Im going to refer my friends to your video. Again, Thank you GREATLY....

[@nclecontactlenstraining]

Thanks so much, David. I appreciate that.

[@jessicapiontek9370]

Thank you so much for these videos. I took my NCLE written Monday and passed. I listened to your videos all the way there!! I'm taking my practical tomorrow and am cramming and watching your videos. Would you consider doing more videos with examples talking about blink movements etc for questions like too tight, too loose etc.

[@nclecontactlenstraining]

Very proud of you!!
I will consider those videos 📺 😃

Watching these videos
Right before I go in to take my NCLE

Good luck, Molly! Thanks for subscribing.

You are so kind! Thank you.

Nice

[@LWNmusic]

Your content is great. Very helpful

[@nclecontactlenstraining]

Thank you, Mike. That means a lot!

[@LWNmusic]

Any tips on slit lamp questions? Not sure how in depth they get on the NCLE

[@nclecontactlenstraining]

@@LWNmusic for the NCLE you mainly need to study the various types of illuminations (ex. Diffuse, indirect) and their uses. Also, learn the magnification range and the best starting mag.
That should be most questions!

[@LWNmusic]

@@nclecontactlenstraining I appreciate it. I've watched all your videos. The books are great and all, but I need visuals, so your videos helped a lot. Thanks again

[@moyatv1]

still lost sorry I have -4.75 -2.50 @ 20 . settled at 5 o'clock meaning -30 turning left ( @20 -30 ) = -10.

[@rinasc7225]

If the spectacle axis for example is 20(same is ordered in lens) , you find the marks align at 30 degree. Does that mean we should calculate the rotation from 180 to 30 or from 20 to 30?

[@ericskitchen7794]

In the exam will they use hours for the rotation? Example the lens is sitting at 8h. In that case it would be rotated 60 degrees CW.

[@nclecontactlenstraining]

Yes, typically one would state “the markings are resting at the 8 o’clock position…”

[@leidilero2810]

Question on the test asked how many degrees and to which direction. Please help how do you determined the amount of degrees. Thank you

[@chrisasaro2391]

THANK YOU for creating these helpful videos!!! Is the direction of rotation nasally and temporally the same for each eye or is one different than the other?

[@nclecontactlenstraining]

Good question!
Nasally for the OD is clockwise and nasally for OS is counterclockwise.
Temporally for OD is counterclockwise and temporary for OS clockwise.

[@chrisasaro2391]

@@nclecontactlenstraining THANK YOU!!!
Taking my test today. Wish me luck, and thank you for all your help!!!

[@nclecontactlenstraining]

Keep us posted! Good luck 💪🏼

[@moyatv1]

So what if the @is 170 and you have to add 45 ?

[@nclecontactlenstraining]

With an Rx 180 = 0
So, 170 + 45 = 35
170 to 180 (I.e. 0) to 010 to 020 to 030 to 035

[@tobiasbrisa13462]

still having a hard time understanding this concept. Any help on this equation:
RX: -7.00 -2.75x 170
K:43/43
When using a trial lens and slit lamp to evaluate fit of a soft toric lens, you notice the reference marking is positioned at seven-o-clock. What is the cylinder axis of the lens to be ordered. A) 170 B)180 C)10 D) 20

[@nclecontactlenstraining]

7 o’clock is clockwise, because 6 o’clock is at the bottom of the “clock.” 6 o’clock is the proper orientation of the lens.
Clockwise is “left.”
LARS
LEFT ADD RIGHT SUBTRACT
170 + 10 = 180

[@tobiasbrisa13462]

@@nclecontactlenstraining Interesting, the answer is D) 20

You’re welcome 😊

Hi Guadalupe!
UNFORTUNATELY, MVS did not record last years presentation for review. However, I will be conducting more training with My Vision Show this year and will keep everyone updated. Thank you for watching! 😊
