Contact Lenses

09/01/2011 - "In 69% patients after PKP non-corrected visual acuity (NCVA) was 0.1 or more and mean best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.63, that is similar to efficacy of contact lens correction in stage III-IV keratoconus. "
12/01/2006 - "The modified ALTK procedure effectively treated a patient with moderate keratoconus with a best-corrected visual acuity of 20/80, despite rigid gas-permeable contact lenses. "
11/01/2005 - "Penetrating keratoplasty is a safe and effective procedure with remarkable optical and visual outcomes for patients with keratoconus who are contact lens intolerant or have unacceptable corrected visual acuity. "
11/01/2011 - "While no significant measurable differences in K- and E-values were observed, fitting of a pancorneal toric RGP contact lens in keratoconus led to a marked improvement in visual acuity and a visible change in corneal compression."
12/01/2002 - "In the model-building study, the CTI in keratoconus patients (1.28 +/- 0.15) was significantly greater than in contact lens-wearing (1.10 +/- 0.03; P < 0.001) and normal eyes (1.09 +/- 0.04; P < 0.001). "

10/01/1994 - "Currently used diagnostic tests, such as the Schirmer strip test or the time for tear film breakup, are not very effective in identifying the dry eye patient who may have trouble wearing a contact lens. "
01/01/2016 - "Compared with contact lens wear, current LASIK technology improved ease of night driving, did not significantly increase dry eye symptoms, and resulted in higher levels of satisfaction at 1, 2, and 3 years follow-up."
01/01/2016 - "This protocol will be effective in future studies to reveal undocumented details of the LW area, such as assessing cellular particularities of contact lens wearers or patients with dry eye or lid wiper epitheliopathy."
01/01/2012 - "Potential of impression cytology in diagnosis and evaluation of efficacy of pharmacological correction of dry eye syndrome (DES) associated with contact lens wearing was studied. "
01/01/2012 - "[Potential of impression cytology in diagnosis and evaluation of efficacy of pharmacological correction of dry eye syndrome associated with contact lens wearing]."

01/01/2016 - "We saw no significant difference in the efficacy of the two methods in this regard, and so we believe there are very few barriers for any contact lens practitioner to be actively promoting myopia control treatment to at-risk patients."
01/01/2023 - "The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of a novel custom-designed rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens to control high myopia by comparing the efficacy of multifocal RGP lenses and single-vision spectacles for high myopia control. "
07/01/2018 - "Although some contact lens clinical trials have demonstrated promising results in slowing the progression of myopia, many of these studies have significant limitations, including only short follow-up times, limited randomization, and incomplete masking. "
11/24/2014 - "This 2-year study indicates that ortho-k contact lens wear is effective for reducing myopia progression in children with low, moderate and high myopia."
03/01/2013 - "The results indicate that the significant improvement in vision-related quality of life and acceptability with OK contact lenses is an incentive to engage in its use for the control of myopia in children."

01/01/2000 - "The purpose of this study was to measure improvement in best corrected visual acuity with rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses compared to best corrected spectacle visual acuity for patients with irregular astigmatism. "
09/01/2009 - "The reduction of astigmatism may allow improved contact lens or spectacle fitting to achieve best-corrected binocular visual acuity."
07/01/1996 - "In most cases, contact lenses gave good visual acuity and, in cases of mild irregular astigmatism, a significant improvement over spectacle BCVA. "
05/01/2020 - "The favorable efficacy on visual acuity outcomes we have found suggests that toric IOL can be used in cases of asymmetric astigmatism, in order to provide better-corrected vision, less spectacles dependence and an improved quality of vision overall, which is especially important in contact lenses intolerant patients."
02/01/2020 - "Rigid contact lenses may be beneficial in the setting of irregular astigmatism. "

05/21/2022 - "Very short UVC exposure has high antimicrobial efficacy against most of the predominant causative microorganisms implicated in contact lens related keratitis. "
01/01/2010 - "Enhancing the availability of information with respect to contact lens users and customized analysis regarding treatment for a particular complication could be beneficial in order to reduce the frequency of admission to the eye clinic due to infectious keratitis. "
07/01/2007 - "While patients with traumatic keratitis, contact lens-related keratitis or negative corneal cultures (P = 0.009) were more likely to have good outcomes. "
06/01/2007 - "To report 5 cases of fungal keratitis associated with contact lens wear that resolved or significantly improved without antifungal therapy. "
02/01/2015 - "Of concern however, is that none of the locally formulated contact lens disinfecting solutions from Pakistan, i.e., Kontex Clean, Kontex Normal, Kontex Multisol extra(+) and Kontex Soak were effective against any of the keratitis-causing organisms tested. "
