Finally! I am glad to have seen your post on indeed. Glad you’re making videos to help with the NCLE. Looking at getting my certification soon. I am a visual learner and this really helps. Keep posting!! Thanks for doing this.
Thanks for the video. Please keep posting if you can. I'm trying to use CZcams to supplement my contact lens class and there are so few videos. If you can get into the mathematics of contact lenses along with how and when to apply the different formulas that would be amazing.
This is great. thanks so much for the video im going to be taking the practical after passing the test 6 years a go. This is big help please keep posting.
Could you do a video about changing other lens parameters? Specifically I’m not understanding how increasing or decreasing the optic zone changes the fit. The visual would be so helpful. Thanks for your videos. I’ve been studying for the last two months and your videos have been so helpful in understanding and reinforcing the concepts.
Hey brother Sam. Thank you for making these videos. They are a HUGE help as I am taking my exam in 2 weeks. It's really helping me supplement and understand my studies. Can you make videos on Follow Ups & SOAP method? I took my NCLE once already a few months back and didn't prepare enough. There were a few questions on these topics as well and I don't know where to review the material. If you have any good references , feel free to share!
Hi, Juan! I really appreciate you subscribing to, and watching my channel. Many of the videos are geared more towards the theoretical concepts that you will encounter on the exam. Those are good topic ideas for future videos, though! If you need a good resource for other, more comprehensive study materials I would always recommend the contact lens society of America or Carrie Wilson (you can look her up on Facebook). Thanks, again! You’ve got this. Let us know when you pass!
Could you explain what happens to the power of a lens when you change the base curve? Ex: new power of a +2.75 lens when bc changes from 43.50 to 43.00. Thanks!
Hey, Alison. For the example that you cited you would use the rule SAM/FAP. This is steeper add minus or flatter add plus since in your example your base curve is going half a diopter flatter from a 43.50 to a 43.00 we would add THAT SAME AMOUNT to the Rx to get our answer. +2.75 + +0.50 = +3.25 Easy Peasy Hope this helps! Sam
Yes! The base curve can be expressed as a radius of curvature in millimeters or as a K reading. The base curve is also referred to as the central posterior curve 👍🏼
Both of those measurements both represent the same thing. 43.25 / 337.5 = 7.81 which is your base curve. A contact lens Rx will need at minimum a BC, DIA and POWER. You are missing information. Thanks for watching!
Hi, Kellie. I appreciate you watching my channel! I have a playlist of “just the math.” Hope it helps 😊 czcams.com/play/PLbkyEcKUyrE2eGld82WArJtp6i2JkiYFm.html
Studying for my NCLE and this was a huge help to understand Sag Depth! Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback, Dave!

Glad you found the video helpful! I will be sure to add more.
Pretty please make this video with drawings.
I can make that happen. Thank you for watching!

Thanks! Next week I should be adding a vertex distance video 😃
You do an awesome job in teaching! Thanks for your dedication in helping me out
Thank you so much for your kind words!

I plan on adding more videos soon. Thank you for subscribing - I hope the content continues to be helpful!

I’ll make it happen, Chloe!
good video , can you do a follow up using the white board? leverage the rule of thumb w base curve?
That’s a great idea.
I will add that to a list of videos that I will produce once I find the time!
Thanks for watching!

Duh 🤦♀️ Thank you.
@@AlisonMoser-py9jr duhhhhhhhhhh lol
Can you illustrate an example of average k reading for rgp lenses through any video!
I will make this my next full length video! I appreciate you watching 😊
Is the radius of curvature the same as base curve ?
Yes! The base curve can be expressed as a radius of curvature in millimeters or as a K reading. The base curve is also referred to as the central posterior curve 👍🏼
I’m do not know why I still get a little confuse with the diameter 🤨
Larger the diameter the tighter the lens. Always.
If it is written for me by the doctor mm 7.81 D 43.25
Please what does it mean?
To buy my lenses
I'm asking to know my curve base and Diameter..thanks
Both of those measurements both represent the same thing.
43.25 / 337.5 = 7.81 which is your base curve.
A contact lens Rx will need at minimum a BC, DIA and POWER.
You are missing information. Thanks for watching!
Do you have a video that just goes over the math that is on the ncle?
Hi, Kellie. I appreciate you watching my channel! I have a playlist of “just the math.”
