Soft contact lenses for keratoconus: case report.
PURPOSE Contact lenses have assisted the refractive correction of keratoconus since the 19th century. In these case reports, the authors describe their experience with a new soft contact lens design. METHODS The Soft K is a new soft lens comprising a thick fenestrated design to fit in patients with mild to moderate corneal distortion and fitting problems or physical intolerance to rigid gas-p...
متن کاملContact Lenses for Keratoconus- Current Practice
BACKGROUND Keratoconus is a chronic, bilateral, usuallly asymmetrical, non-inflammatory, ectatic disorder, being characterized by progressive steepening, thinning and apical scarring of the cornea. Initially, the patient is asymptomatic, but the visual acuity gradually decreases, resulting in significant vision loss due to the development of irregular astigmatism, myopia, corneal thinning and s...
متن کاملContact lenses in treatment of keratoconus.
THE increasing recognition of the importance of contact lenses in the treatment of keratoconus has led to a quite exceptional concentration of these cases in the Contact Lens Department at the Royal Westminster branch of the Moorfields, Westminster and Central Eye Hospital. It is possible that the opportunity to analyse in detail such a large series of keratoconus cases has not previously occur...
متن کاملKeratoconus Management: Role of GP Contact Lenses
Keratoconus is a corneal disorder progressive characterized by thinning and steepening of the central and paracentral cornea, which leads to protrusion [1]. The exact cause of the disease remains to be fully elucidated although its etiology probably is multifactorial with a genetic predisposition to keratoconus influenced by external environmental factors (eye rubbing and atopy) [2] with differ...
متن کاملSimulated optical performance of custom wavefront soft contact lenses for keratoconus.
PURPOSE Outstanding improvements in vision can theoretically be expected using contact lenses that correct monochromatic aberrations of the eye. Imperfections in such correction inherent to contact lenses are lens flexure, translation, rotation, and tear layer effects. The effects of pupil size and accommodation on ocular aberration may cause further difficulties. The purpose of this study was ...
