Clinical manifestations secondary to soft contact lens wear.
The study of 151 patients wearing soft hydrophilic lenses for one year revealed no gross irreversible lesions with loss of vision. But of significance was the presence of superficial lesions of the corneal epithelium, and chronic stromal oedema. While no significant loss of wearing time was noted for women taking the pill, the decrease in tear secretion in those patients with a latent dry eye p...
متن کاملPigmentation of the Cornea Secondary to Tinted Soft Contact Lens Wear
Purpose. To report a case of pigmented corneal iron lines following use of tinted soft contact lenses (CL). Methods. A retrospective case report. Results. A 16-year-old girl was referred with suspected CL-related keratopathy OU, having recently switched to tinted soft monthly disposable CLs (8.4/14.0 -3.00 OD, -3.25 OS Aquamarine SofLens Natural Colours, Bausch and Lomb, New York, USA). Both co...
متن کاملCorneal Biomechanical Changes Following Toric Soft Contact Lens Wear
PURPOSE To determine the effect of using toric soft contact lenses on corneal biomechanical properties. METHODS We enrolled 33 healthy patients with mean age of 23.18 ± 4.06 and minimal cylinder power of 1 D (-1.98 ± 0.808 SD) and negative history of contact lens use; keratoconic patients were excluded from the study. Toric soft contact lenses (BIOFINITY, Comfilcon A, Coopervision, Southampto...
متن کاملSoft contact lens wear at altitude: effects of hypoxia.
In the U.S. Air Force, aircraft can be divided into two categories--those with cabin pressures equivalent to high altitudes and aircraft with cabin pressures equivalent to lower altitudes, with longer duration exposures. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of soft contact lens wear under atmospheric pressures simulating these two types of aircraft environments. Ten subjects w...
متن کاملCorneal response to rigid contact lens wear.
Three adult rhesus monkeys were subjected to 2 and 24 hours of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) contact lens wear. The induced corneal changes were examined with the electron microscope. Mild epithelial oedema as well as early degenerative cell changes was present already after 2 hours' wear. Rigid lens wear for 24 hours produced more severe oedema and cell alterations together with premature cell...
