Predictive factors for corneal infiltrates with continuous wear of silicone hydrogel contact lenses.
OBJECTIVE To estimate the cumulative probability and risk factors for developing corneal infiltrates after up to 3 years of continuous wear (CW) with lotrafilcon A lenses. METHODS Patients were fitted with lotrafilcon A lenses and followed up for 3 years. The main outcome variable was the first occurrence of any infiltrative event in either eye. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to...
متن کاملContinuous Wear of Hydrogel Contact Lenses for Therapeutic Use
Purpose: To investigate the efficacy and complications of continuous wear of etafilcon A for therapeutic use. Materials and Methods: The subjects were 228 eyes of 219 outpatients prescribed Contact Lens (CL) for one week of continuous therapeutic wear during 10 years. The reason for prescription of CLs, the primary disease, the duration of CL wear and the complications were assessed retrospecti...
متن کاملMixed infection (Pseudomonas and coagulase negative staphylococci) microbial keratitis associated with extended wear silicone hydrogel contact lens
Contact lens induced ulcerative keratitis is a serious complication which can be devastating for the patient if treatment is delayed. Extended wear is the commonest cause of microbial keratitis in contact lens wear. New extended wear silicone hydrogel contact lenses have higher oxygen transmissibility so that they can be worn continuously for 30 days. They can also be used as bandage contact le...
