Corneal thickness response to high and low water content lenses in aphakic eyes.
A high water content lens (Scanlens 75, +14.5 dioptres) and a low water content lens (Bausch and Lomb Soflens H3, +14.5 dioptres) were compared with respect to corneal thickness response after 6 hours of wear in a provocative test on 12 aphakic eyes. The mean increase in central corneal thickness was 3.3% for Scanlens and 6.4% for Soflens. This difference is statistically highly significant (p ...
متن کاملExtended-wear aphakic soft contact lenses and corneal ulcers.
A review of 100 aphakic extended-wear soft contact lenses is presented for the period July 1980 to August 1981. Four previously successfully fitted patients with either American Optical Company's Sofcon or Cooper Laboratories' Permalens for extended wear developed corneal ulcers either directly under the lenses or shortly after removal. Three of the female patients were well controlled diabetic...
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 کاملSenile pseudoexfoliation in aphakic eyes.
In three eyes which underwent cataract extraction no evidence of senile pseudoexfoliation was found either before, or immediately after, surgery in spite of repeated biomicroscopical examination under full mydriasis. Years later pseudoexfoliative material was found on the anterior hyaloid and on the pupillary border. In another case, wherein the lens was traumatically dislocated and had lain in...
متن کاملVitreous Detachment in Aphakic Eyes.
VITREOUS detachment is a constant accompaniment and thus a cardinal symptom of retinal detachment, the importance of which is being increasingly stressed by modern authors. It has been indicted as one of the causes of retinal detachment, its action being enhanced by vitreo-retinal adhesions, congenital or acquired. It is less known that all aphakic eyes show some degree of vitreous detachment, ...
