متن کاملCorneal evaluation of prospective aphakic wearers of contact lenses.
A recent investigation' has shown that the comea of the aphakic eye swells less than that of the normal fellow eye when fitted with identical hydrophilic lenses. This confirms previous clinical impressions and would suggest that a metabolic difference may exist between the corneas of the normal and the aphakic eye. The present investigation was therefore devised to assess certain aspects of the...
متن کاملTear Film Evaluation in Contact Lens Wearers and Non Wearers
Background: Dry eye symptoms are more frequent in contact lens wearers than in non wearers. Dry eye is considered relatively common in contact lens wearers than non-wearers. However, there was no any report in our clinical setting that compared and addressed the issue related to dry eye and its symptom in contact lens wearers. The present study was conducted to compare pre-ocular tear film in c...
متن کاملAntibiotic Susceptibility Patterns of Pseudomonas Corneal Ulcers in Contact Lens Wearers
PURPOSE To evaluate the resistance or susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the most common pathogen in contact lens keratitis and corneal ulcer, to different antibiotic regimens. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study included all patients with recently diagnosed contact lens corneal ulcer whose culture results were positive for P. aeruginosa, from March 2009 to March 2010. The...
متن کاملEstimation of corneal endothelial pump function in long-term contact lens wearers.
PURPOSE To study the effects of long-term contact lens wear on morphologic and physiologic properties of corneal endothelial cells. METHODS The endothelial permeability to fluorescein and the rate of corneal deswelling from hypoxia-induced edema were measured in 20 long-term (mean, 17+/-9 years; range, 5-33 years) contact lens wearers and 20 age-matched control subjects. From these data, the ...
