Impact of rigid gas-permeable contact lens extended wear on corneal epithelial barrier function.
PURPOSE To measure the effect of hypoxia and eye closure on epithelial permeability to fluorescein (P(dc)) during rigid lens extended wear (EW). METHODS Central corneal thickness (CT) and P(dc) were measured in 42 subjects with an optical pachometer and automated scanning fluorophotometer, respectively. All subjects had been successfully wearing rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses on a 6-night E...
متن کاملRigid Gas Permeable Contact Lens as a Vision-Sparing Tool in Children After Traumatic Corneal Laceration.
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical value of rigid gas permeable contact lenses in children after traumatic corneal scarring. METHODS This comparative study included 15 children (age range: 5.7 to 14 years; mean ± standard deviation = 9.4 ± 2.9 years) with corneal scars and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of worse than 20/20, history of penetrating ocular trauma, and/or cataract extraction. ...
متن کاملCorneal aberration changes after rigid gas permeable contact lens wear in keratokonic patients
PURPOSE To determine the short-term effect of rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses on corneal aberrations in keratoconic patients. METHOD Sixteen keratoconic eyes with no history of RGP lens wear were included. They all had corneal aberrometry using Pentacam, and different aberration indices of the anterior and posterior surfaces of the cornea were measured before and 3 months after fitti...
متن کاملComparative study of antibacterial and antifungal effects of rigid gas permeable contact lens disinfecting solutions.
The aim of this study was to compare antimicrobial efficacy of rigid contact lens disinfecting solutions. We tested five commercially available solutions: Unique pH (Alcon Laboratories), Boston Advance (Polymer Technology Corp.), Nitilens Conditioner GP (Avizor), Total Care (AMO), Boston Simplus (Bausch&Lomb). Their efficacy to disinfect saline solution experimentally contaminated with American...
متن کاملBiocompatibility and cytotoxicity study of nanophotonic rigid gas permeable contact lens material
Since materials on nanoscale have different characteristics from materials on macro scale their biocompatibility should be precisely and specifically investigated. Fullerenes, the third carbon allotrope, are one of the most used nanomaterials. The least stable and the most common is fullerene C60. One of the main disadvantages of fullerene is its low solubility in water. In order to make it sol...
