If there is fluorescein touch at the intermediate curve of a lens, what should be done?

Fluorescein pooling at the intermediate curve of a contact lens indicates that there may be a fitting issue, typically suggesting that the lens is too flat in that area. Steeping the peripheral curve helps to achieve a better fit. When the peripheral curve is steepened, it can help create a more stable lens position on the eye, reduce movement, and improve both comfort and vision. This adjustment can ensure that the lens conforms better to the shape of the cornea, preventing excessive pooling of the fluorescein, which may lead to discomfort or insufficient tear exchange under the lens.

In summary, steepening the peripheral curve addresses the issue of fluorescein pooling at the intermediate curve, promoting a more optimal lens fit by creating a better connection between the lens and the eye.
