Purpose. Contact lens-associated solution toxicity manifests as generalized, mild punctate epithelial fluorescein staining and usually is widely reported asymptomatic, with no substantial clinical sequelae. This study examined the relationship between corneal infiltrative events (CIEs) in soft contact lens daily wear. Methods. Several nonrandomized interventional trials conducted May November 2005 were analyzed retrospectively. Subjects wore commercially available lenses bilaterally, on a...
Corneal infiltrates are commonly observed during adverse reactions associated with contact lens wear. Broad ranges of presentations encountered, and there is no well-established classification system. The aim this paper to categorize corneal soft wear present the typical clinical characteristics each type event.All events occurring in trials over 10 years (9 retrospective 1 year prospective) conducted at two research centers were reviewed by a panel experts comprising ophthalmologists,...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect lens care products on short-term subjective and physiological performance silicone hydrogel lenses.Ten subjects wore either lotrafilcon B or galyfilcon A contact lenses soaked in a product containing Polyquad/Aldox PHMB control inserted directly from pack. Subjects for 6 h. Ocular comfort (graded 1 10 scale) ocular physiology were assessed. Unworn but analyzed metrological changes, release excipients into phosphate buffered saline,...
ABSTRACT Purpose To determine tear neuropeptide levels in contact lens wearers and non-wearers, to examine relationships with indices of corneal innervation, function, ocular discomfort. Methods A cross-sectional, single-visit, investigator-masked pilot study. Assessments included Ocular Comfort Index (OCI), central mid-peripheral nerve density morphology (HRT-Rostock), sensitivity (Cochet-Bonnet aesthesiometer), Substance P calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) concentration (ELISA), situ...
Abstract Purpose Smartphone use by children is rising rapidly, but its ocular surface impact unknown. This study examined the effect of smartphone on blinking, symptoms, and tear function in children. Methods Prospective intervention where 36 aged 6–15years (14 M:22 F) played games a continuously for one hour. Symptoms (SANDE, IOSS, NRS) film (lipid layer thickness, secretion, stability) were assessed before after gaming. Blink rate interblink interval measured situ using an eye tracking...
Purpose To investigate the microcyst response to extended wear (EW) with high oxygen transmissible (Dk/t) silicone hydrogel lenses. Methods Microcysts were monitored for 12 months in subjects wearing low Dk/t lenses on a 6-night EW schedule or 30-night schedule. Subjects transferred and after further 6 months. Results The mean number of microcysts did not deviate from baseline group. group increased over months, more observed lens wearers compared 3 50% 1 week transfer returned levels seen...
Purpose. To characterize the epithelial thickness profile and study effects of long-term wear hydrogel lenses on this profile. Methods. A cross-sectional was designed. Epithelial evaluated in 15 subjects who had worn one two types low oxygen transmissibility (Dk) contact for an average 10 years (range, 7–16) compared with a group 18 control never lenses. measured at center four mid-peripheral peripheral locations vertical horizontal meridians cornea using modified optical pachymeter....

Abstract Background There is a huge need for the availability of transplantable donor corneas worldwide to reduce burden corneal blindness due opacity. Voluntary eye donation depends on awareness levels various stakeholders in community. This study aimed assess level regarding among Srikakulam district state Andhra Pradesh, India. Methods 355 subjects were selected from using multi stage random sampling. A pre tested semi structured questionnaire was used collect information each...
Introduction Myopia is the most common refractive error worldwide, but each dioptre increase in myopia leads to an increased risk of degenerative eye disease and permanent vision impairment. Soft contact lens (CL) designs have been developed slow potentially reduce long-term risk, there still a need for additional varied materials parameters cater diverse patient needs. The MultifocAL COntact Lenses control study aims compare efficacy Acuvue Oasys Presbyopia (AOP) CL against Food Drug...
SIGNIFICANCE: Our survey found that clinical imaging is widely utilized by many Australian eyecare practitioners for detecting and monitoring choroid nevus highlighted knowledge gaps risk factors features of early primary eye melanoma. Continuing education related to detection could improve multidisciplinary management these patients. PURPOSE: The aim on their patients with choroidal nevus. METHODS: A random sample optometrists ophthalmologists registered practice in Australia was surveyed...
The goal of this report is to review previously published clinical trials addressing contact lens discomfort (CLD) identify appropriate trial design and outcome parameters guide future research that will characterize investigate possible causes CLD. A further confounding features performance in order reduce bias conduct or analysis data from those trials.
Ocular surface sensitivity plays a role in dry eye and ocular comfort through its probable influence on the neural feedback loop that regulates tear secretion, but little is known specifically about of lid or margin health. The aim this study was to characterize eyelid explore relationships between staining, meibomian gland dysfunction, osmolarity, symptoms. A secondary look for differences associations lower- upper-lid characteristics.Pilot involving 27 healthy subjects (7 men, 20 women;...
Purpose The aim of this study was to determine if Demodex infestation is more frequent in contact lens wearers than nonwearers. Secondary aims were evaluate the effects on ocular surface (symptoms and signs) ability confocal laser scanning microscopy detect quantify compared with conventional light microscopic technique. Methods Forty Asian female participants (20 nonwearers, 20 wearers) a mean (±SD) age 27 (±9) years recruited. Ocular comfort scores (Ocular Surface Disease Index, Comfort...
