Article Abstract
Introduction: The therapeutic use is one of the major indications of the contact lenses, near the correction of the refraction.
Material And Method: The study analyzed 86 patients who wore one TCL. The data was analyzed concordant with the main effects of the TCL and their limits.
Results And Discussions: The main positive effects of the TCL were: relief of pain, improving of re-epithelization, the tectonic effect, mechanic protection and hydratation of the cornea, visual improving and the permitting of the binocularity. The limits of the TCL are related to: susceptibility of infections, non adaptation or loosing of the lens in irregularity of the cornea.
