Hey! Thanks for putting these videos out. I take my NCLE on the 17th of December, and I've been studying for months. Reading everything, and writing most of what I read so I remember it. These videos kind of help me cap it all off and sum it up! I really appreciate the detail you go into. The one thing reading it and writing it doesn't always do is help me visualize it. So thank you so much! Merry Christmas, too.
Trying to study for my NCLE and I’m finding it very difficult to find videos explaining things. I am not one who can learn easily from a text book so these videos are super helpful. Thank you!
Very helpful video, thank u. I have aquestion though, you mentioned the case of 3 and 9 o'clock staining in the WTR astigmatism. So how can we act in case we have that? What modifications we should do to a lens so we avoid this?
Great question. The answer is - you can’t avoid it! Wife the cornea is steeper along the vertical meridian Fluorescein will create this pattern. What you CAN control is any unnecessary pooling! Anyways - thanks so much for watching, friend.
Hi. Thanks for the videos, they’ve really helped. Can I please ask, when/how do you choose what type of fitting to do out of interpalpebral or lid attached fit? Is it simply determined by the patients lid position?
Hey, Allan. That will generally be up to the contact lens fitter to choose which type of fitting philosophy that they would like to pursue. On the test this will be noted for you. By default, as you stated, one’s lid position (interpalpebral fissure) will dictate how the lens acts in situ. Thanks for watching 📺 👀
@@nclecontactlenstraining Thanks for that. One last thing I forgot to ask, is the ideal fit in terms movement of the lens on blink, sag and lag etc the same for toric as it is for spherical rgp’s
Thank you for watching! Honestly, the CLSA study material is really good. You may see if they have any online downloadable books or images to study. Keep us posted!
@@nclecontactlenstraining Thank you. I have passed my NCLE basic and practical combined today .I'm proud that I scored all greens in every content area, Could not have gained the confidence without watching your videos though I was in eye care since 5 years. You have made it easy for me! Thanks again.
Good question. Adduction is towards the midline but it refers to the “movement” Abduction is away from the midline and again refers to the movement. It could say “The patients left eye abducted…” not likely though 😊
I have a question that’s not related to the video. I passed the ABO but after learning more about contacts, I have found that I’m way more interested in the contacts! Im in a license required state but my question is what type of work could I go into that I get to work more with contacts over glasses?
Hi, Nikki! Yes - Contact lenses are overall, interesting! You could work at a larger ophthalmology group as a contact lens technician, or scribe. Many times you can work alongside OMD’s and ODs... You could also be a sales rep for one of the major contact lens brands, or you could work for a GP or speciality lens company as a product/fitting specialist (the ones the docs call and give K readings, power, etc. to for guidance on fitting) Thanks for engaging and being interested 😊
@@nclecontactlenstraining thank you for the information! I’m going to start doing some research into those options. I’m starting to think more and more ophthalmology is the side I prefer. I enjoy interaction with patients and don’t prefer sales. Although I am good at sales 😕
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 📺
WTR is where the strongest power is near the 90 ATR is where the strongest power is near the 180 In a minus cyl Rx WTR will present itself around the 180 (this seeming opposite) but if you transpose you can see that the greatest power is along the 90 Don’t overthink things 😊
The best advice I can give you is to familiarize yourself with the simulations that are available on the ABO-NCLE.org website. Congrats, and good luck!
The way you teach is a miracle for me!!!
Thhhhank you Sam
Thank you for the kind statement!!

Hey, Joshua! Thanks for the comment. Appreciate you watching. Good luck on the 17th. You’ve got this 💪
Thank you so much again for your videos Im been learning more with them. Please continue shearing your knowledge of NCLE thank you!!
Glad they are helping you!
I'm about to take my Ncle exam and I find your video very very helpful and very good material study sources.
Let us know when you pass! 💪

Thank you, Michelle! I really appreciate the comment 😊
Thanks for your explanation! Very helpful
So glad the videos are benefitting you!
This video is great refresher. Thanks again
Taking my test July 9. Love these videos
You’ve got this, Kevin 💪
Thank you for watching!
I hope you passed I take mine tomorrow and just found him tonight
I passed ! These videos were my main source of study. Excellent series. Good luck!
Was it the ncle basic or ncle practical?
I passed the ncle practical today! Kentucky state license now

Excellent video.. Thanks
Your videos helped me a lot, wish you had videos for follow-ups too
Thanks for watching! I also appreciate your video suggestion.

Thanks for watching, Michael!
This is so helpful! Thank you so much
I appreciate you watching, Tiffany! 😊
❤❤ finally I find video talking about flourocine patterns 😭
I COMPLETELY understand! That’s why I made it 😊
Thank you for the videos they are great! Any study material would you suggest to refer ,I have NCLE in 2 days

@@manasanagaraj7589 sincerely so glad to hear this! CONGRATS 🥳🍾
Awesome, thank you so much.
For medial and lateral will they refer it as adduction or abduction?
Good question.
Adduction is towards the midline but it refers to the “movement”
Abduction is away from the midline and again refers to the movement.
It could say “The patients left eye abducted…” not likely though 😊

Need more videos geared to help pass the NCLE Practical exam
Hi, David.
That is a common request. I will be adding more videos soon and I will look to include that content!
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 📺
Sam . , in the in the Contact lens Review book on pg 71 .. WTR and ATR are opposite. Please help I take my NCLE in 2 days
WTR is where the strongest power is near the 90
ATR is where the strongest power is near the 180
In a minus cyl Rx WTR will present itself around the 180 (this seeming opposite) but if you transpose you can see that the greatest power is along the 90
Don’t overthink things 😊
I’m referring to the fluorescein patterns . 9-3 dumbbell the NOA contact review book shows a picture and it says it’s with the rule .?
Thanks for the videos! I've passed my NCLE, but now I have to take the NCLE Practical. Any tips or advice for the practical exam?
The best advice I can give you is to familiarize yourself with the simulations that are available on the ABO-NCLE.org website. Congrats, and good luck!
Great
Thank you, Vida.
