Traumatic fracture of contact lens with corneal injury.
There was a partial thickness laceration of the right cornea at the junction of the middle and lower thirds extending in an irregular horizontal line from side to side. From the depth of this laceration the cornea was split to the lower limbus and in the lamellar pocket so formed were embedded multiple fragments of a shattered corneal contact lens. At no point did this lamellar laceration penet...
متن کاملContact lens related corneal ulcer.
A corneal ulcer caused by infection is one of the major causes of blindness worldwide. One of the recent health concerns is the increasing incidence of corneal ulcers associated with contact lens user especially if the users fail to follow specific instruction in using their contact lenses. Risk factors associated with increased risk of contact lens related corneal ulcers are: overnight wear, l...
متن کاملContact lens rehabilitation following repaired corneal perforations
BACKGROUND Visual outcome following repair of post-traumatic corneal perforation may not be optimal due to presence of irregular keratometric astigmatism. We performed a study to evaluate and compare rigid gas permeable contact lens and spectacles in visual rehabilitation following perforating corneal injuries. METHOD Eyes that had undergone repair for corneal perforating injuries with or wit...
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 کاملCorneal Biomechanical Findings in Contact Lens Induced Corneal Warpage
Purpose. To evaluate the difference in biomechanical properties between contact lens induced corneal warpage and normal and keratoconic eyes. Method. Prospective observational case control study, where 94 eyes of 47 warpage suspicious and 46 eyes of 23 keratoconic patients were included. Warpage suspected cases were followed until a definite diagnosis was made (warpage, normal, or keratoconus)....
