We determined the “normal” central corneal thickness (CCT) value in human corneas based
on reported literature values for within-study average CCT values, and used this as a …

The evidence-basis based on existing myopia control trials along with the supporting
academic literature were reviewed; this informed recommendations on the outcomes …

Contact lens-related complications are common, affecting around one third of wearers,
although most are mild and easily managed. Contact lenses have well-defined anatomical …

The endothelium is a monolayer of cells on the posterior corneal surface that transports
water from the stroma into the anterior chamber. This movement of water counters a natural …

Microbial keratitis is a potentially blinding disease that is rare in normal eyes unless
associated with contact lens (CL) wear. To assess the risks of CL use, and other major …

Contact lenses represent a widely utilized form of vision correction with more than 140
million wearers worldwide. Although generally well-tolerated, contact lenses can cause …

The field of contact lenses continues to evolve at a rapid pace, with new optical designs and
vision correction options continually being developed. Additionally, the rapid expansion of …

For 30 years, contact lens research focused on the need for highly oxygen-permeable (Dk)
soft lens materials. High Dk silicone hydrogel contact lenses, made available in 1999, met …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of long-term contact lens wear on corneal thickness,
curvature, and surface regularity. DESIGN: A prospective, clinic-based, case-control study …

Purpose. This article reviews the corneal changes resulting from the hypoxia that occurs
during sleep and specifically during contact lens wear. Methods. Discussion includes a …
