Emerald is Fast and Easy
Emerald™ takes the guesswork out of corneal reshaping
-- and there is no simpler fitting procedure.
Only Rx, Keratometry and HVID
are needed to achieve success; no calculators or
trial lenses are required.
Subsequent visits may benefit from use of corneal topography,
but for minimizing chair time on the initial fit and for
maximizing success, no other system compares to Emerald.
Familiarize yourself with contraindications, troubleshooting,
and other information before fitting Emerald Ortho-K Contact
Lenses.
Recommended Initial Examination
• Patient History
• Uncorrected Visual Acuity (VA)
• Refraction
• Corrected VA near and far with glasses or phoroptor
• Keratometry (Ks)
• Horizontal Visible Iris Diameter (HVID)
• Corneal Topography (optional as a baseline)
• Slit Lamp Examination
• Ophthalmoscopy
• Intraocular Pressure
To Order
Send Rx, Keratometry
and HVID and pertinent
history information to Euclid Corporation via email, phone
or fax.

Dispensing Visit
• Conduct slit lamp exam without Emerald lens to
ensure good cornea health.
• Over-refract and assess VA with Emerald lens –
VA should be 20/20 with lenses on.
• Conduct slit lamp exam and fluorescein evaluation
with Emerald lens on eye – lens should demonstrate
small amount of movement and reasonably good centration.
• A slightly low riding lens is the ideal position
upon dispensing. The lens will then center with the eye
closed. Do not make a change unless the lens is chronically
low riding with eyelid closed (as demonstrated by topography)
or if unacceptable ghosting persists.
Follow-up Visits
• Re-assess patient at regular intervals:
- One day
- One week
- One month
- Three months
- Six months
• Assess stability of orthokeratology effect
• Monitor corneal health
• Assess lens condition
