Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the success rate, effectiveness, and safety of the ICD 16.5 mini-scleral gas permeable contact lens in patients with corneal irregularities and severe ocular surface disease.
- A total of 39 eyes from 23 patients were fitted with the lens, yielding a significant improvement in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and high comfort and visual quality scores.
- The results indicate that the lens is a safe and effective option for managing complicated corneal conditions, with minimal complications reported.
Purpose: To report a series of consecutive cases for which a lotrafilcon A silicone hydrogel soft contact lens was used in therapeutic applications.
Methods: Three practitioners in Spain, Denmark, and Germany supplied 41 consecutive case reports on 39 patients for whom a lotrafilcon A silicone hydrogel soft contact lens was used in therapeutic applications for erosion or recurrent erosion, bullous keratopathy, corneal edema, corneal dystrophy, neurotrophic corneal ulcer, entropion, and after corneal surgeries. Practitioners reported their judgements of pain relief, change in corneal signs by slitlamp evaluation, additional complications, and success of therapeutic lens treatment.
