Extended-Wear Contact Lenses (Contact Lenses, Extended Wear)

08/01/1993 - " Disposable contact lenses have not eliminated the problem of corneal ulcers associated with extended-wear contact lenses. "
07/01/1991 - "Disposable contact lenses have not eliminated the problem of corneal ulcers associated with extended wear contact lenses."
10/01/1989 - "When compared with daily wear soft contact lenses, cosmetic and aphakic extended wear contact lens related ulcers were associated with a delay in definitive diagnosis and a worse prognosis. "
07/15/1986 - "Over a 21-month period, we treated corneal ulcers in 11 patients using daily-wear contact lenses and 29 patients using extended-wear contact lenses. "
07/15/1986 - "Corneal ulcers associated with daily-wear and extended-wear contact lenses."

01/10/2013 - "Extended wear contact lenses that deliver glaucoma drugs for extended periods could increase patient compliance, while also increasing the bioavailability. "
08/20/2012 - "We combine laboratory-based timolol release studies and in vivo pharmacodynamics studies in beagle dogs to evaluate the efficacy of glaucoma therapy through extended wear contact lenses. "
01/10/2013 - "To develop extended wear contact lenses that can also provide extended glaucoma therapy, we disperse nanoparticles of PGT (propoxylated glyceryl triacylate) that contain a glaucoma drug timolol. "
08/20/2012 - "The efficacy of timolol delivered via extended wear contact lenses was then compared to eye drops in beagle dogs that suffer from spontaneous glaucoma. "

01/01/2000 - "A monkey model was used to evaluate intraocular lenses (IOLs) and extended-wear contact lenses (EWCLs) for the optical treatment of infantile aphakia in humans. "
08/01/1992 - "The other monkeys experienced different types of monocular and binocular deprivation from birth, including occlusion of one eye, and/or surgically induced aphakia, optically corrected with extended-wear contact lenses, or an intraocular lens implant. "
02/08/1992 - "The resulting aphakia was corrected optically to a near point with extended-wear contact lenses. "
01/01/1991 - "The effects on the visual system of rearing rhesus monkeys with monocular aphakia, corrected with extended-wear contact lenses, were assessed with anatomical, electrophysiological and behavioral methods. "
06/01/1990 - "Monocular manipulations included eyelid suture to eliminate pattern vision; continuous occlusion with an opaque lens to prevent visual experience; surgical removal of the natural lens to induce continuous blur; and correction of surgically induced aphakia with extended-wear contact lenses (EWCLs) to provide a focused image of near objects. "

01/01/2011 - "We report a case of isolated pseudodendritic fungal epithelial keratitis that occurred in an extended wear contact lens user. "
01/01/2011 - "Pseudodendritic fungal epithelial keratitis in an extended wear contact lens user."
03/01/2009 - "Although the risk of microbial keratitis with modern day SH contact lens extended wear has not changed since the 1980s, when put in perspective with other life risks, it is a relatively rare occurrence."
03/01/2009 - "A comparative ratio was defined as the incidence of microbial keratitis in a population of SH extended wear contact lens users divided by the incidence of other disease or occurrence in a given population at risk. "
01/01/2008 - "Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common organism associated with bacterial keratitis, especially in extended-wear contact lens users. "

12/01/1983 - "1, 1982, and June 1, 1983, disclosed six cases in otherwise healthy patients (four women and two men, ranging in age from 15 to 41 years) who wore extended-wear contact lenses for correction of myopia. "
11/01/1983 - "Extended wear contact lenses for myopia."
06/01/1987 - "This report describes a case of bilateral simultaneous pseudomonas keratitis in an elderly patient wearing extended-wear contact lenses for correction of myopia. "
04/01/1986 - "Three patients wearing extended wear contact lenses for correction of myopia presented with severe corneal complications including corneal ulcers and corneal infiltrates. "
10/01/1983 - "In our patient, a 29-year-old woman, a severe Pseudomonas aeruginosa corneal ulcer developed after the use of extended-wear contact lenses for myopia."
