Proper Management for Rigid Gas Permeable Contact and Orthokeratology Lens
نویسندگان
چکیده
Demand for rigid gas permeable contact lens has increased recently. Many complications including microbial keratitis and corneal neovascularization can be induced by inappropriate management poor hygiene. Despite of the initial education proper management, actual compliance adherence to guideline is significantly low. We reviewed improve hygiene solutions cleaning conditioning lens.

Changes in diadenosine polyphosphates during alignment-fit and orthokeratology rigid gas permeable lens wear.
PURPOSE To evaluate the levels of dinucleotides diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap(4)A) and diadenosine pentaphosphate (Ap(5)A) in tears of patients wearing rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses on a daily wear basis and of patients wearing reverse-geometry RGP lenses overnight for orthokeratology treatment. METHODS Twenty-two young volunteers (10 females, 12 males; 23.47 ± 4.49 years) were fi...

PURPOSE To evaluate the performance of two experimental contact lenses (CL) designed to induce relative peripheral myopic defocus in myopic eyes. METHODS Ten right eyes of 10 subjects were fitted with three different CL: a soft experimental lens (ExpSCL), a rigid gas permeable experimental lens (ExpRGP) and a standard RGP lens made of the same material (StdRGP). Central and peripheral refract...

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...

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. ...
