The influence of soft contact lens wear and two weeks cessation of lens wear on corneal curvature.
INTRODUCTION Accurate corneal measurements are crucial in corneal refractive surgery (CRS) to ensure successful outcomes. Soft contact lens (SCL) wear may result in changes to corneal curvature and structure. United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pre-operative guidelines recommend that prior to CRS, SCL wearers cease SCL wear for "at least two weeks before examination and treatment" ...
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 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...
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 کاملContact lens induced keratitis associated with contact lens wear.
PURPOSE To evaluate clinical characteristics, risk factors, management and outcome of contact lens induced keratitis (CLIK) associated with contact lens wear. METHODS The study comprised all consecutive patients presenting with contact lens related presumed microbial keratitis during a 12-month period at our department. Detailed demographic data, type of contact lens, duration of lens wear, w...
