Relationship between corneal tissue and shape in short-term soft contact lens wear.

Purpose: To investigate which morphometric and ocular surface tissue parameters are affected by short-term soft contact lens (CL) wear and to assess whether they carry related or independent information.

Methods: Twenty-two healthy participants wore silicone hydrogel (SiHy; MyDay, CooperVision) soft CLs for 8 h in their left eye. Corneal tomography and corneoscleral topography were captured before and immediately after CL wear.

The influence of soft contact lens material on the corneoscleral profile.

Purpose: To objectively quantify changes in corneoscleral profile, as evaluated by the limbus position and corneoscleral junction (CSJ) angle, as a consequence of wearing different soft contact lens (CL) materials.

Methods: Twenty-two healthy participants wore silicone hydrogel (SiHy, MyDay, CooperVision) and hydrogel (Hy, Biomedics 1 day extra, CooperVision) soft CLs for 8 h per lens in their left eye. In each session, corneoscleral topography was captured before and immediately after CL removal with an Eye Surface Profiler.
