Photokeratoscopy in fitting contact lens after penetrating keratoplasty.
The formula based on keratometric readings which is generally used is unsatisfactory for fitting contact lenses after penetrating keratoplasty, possibly owing to lack of information on the peripheral corneal toricity. In these studies a photokeratoscope was used to examine the entire graft topography. In all cases the corneal configuration became more normal after suture removal, but a consider...

متن کاملScleral contact lenses for visual rehabilitation after penetrating keratoplasty: long term outcomes.
PURPOSE To evaluate the success rate of highly gas permeable scleral contact lenses (SCL) for visual rehabilitation after penetrating keratoplasty (PK), over a period of up to 9 years. METHODS A total database of 31 consecutive patient fitted with SCL between January 2004 and December 2009 was retrospectively reviewed. Demographic data, etiology prior to lens fitting, visual outcomes, follow ...
متن کاملContact lenses and special back surface design after penetrating keratoplasty to improve contact lens fit and visual outcome.
AIMS To describe the fitting of patients with high or irregular astigmatism following penetrating keratoplasty with contact lenses and to answer the question whether or not contact lenses with special back surface design can improve visual acuity in complex cases after penetrating keratoplasty. METHODS 28 eyes were included. They were fitted with contact lenses with a special back surface tha...
متن کاملcomparative study of two silicone hydrogel contact lenses used as bandage contact lenses after photorefractive keratectomy
background: silicon hydrogel bandage contact lenses are used to enhance epithelial healing, control surface-generated pain, and prevent epithelial erosions after refractive surgery. considering the importance of faster reepithelialization in preventing complications of photorefractive keratectomy (prk) and the fact that the features and specifications of these commercially-available lenses are ...
