Article Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the impact of eyelid pressure (ELP) and eye contour factors on rigid corneal contact lens fitting.
Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study involved 20 participants (one eye per person). Rigid corneal contact lenses with three different base curves were selected for each participant. The base curves were calculated according to the average keratometry value. The original value and its variations (+0.1 mm and - 0.1 mm) were considered. Eye contour factors, lens decentration under natural eye position (LD I) and full eyelid exposure (LD II), and lens vertical movement were taken by a Canon camera mounted on a digital slit lamp biomicroscope. Upper and lower ELPs were measured by a novel blepharo-tensiometer.
Results: The mean values of LD I, LD II, and lens vertical movement significantly increased as the base curve increased (P＜0.001, ＜0.001, and = 0.005). Upper ELP was positively correlated with lens vertical movement of the three base curves (P = 0.047, 0.001, and 0.004). Furthermore, upper ELP (odds ratio [OR]: 1.039; 95 % confidence [CI]: 1.009-1.069; P = 0.009) and flat keratometry values (OR: 0.873; 95 % CI: 0.786-0.969; P = 0.011) independently influenced lens vertical movement.
Conclusions: ELP and base curve independently influenced rigid corneal contact lens fitting. Thus, ELP should be considered during rigid corneal contact lens fitting in clinical practice.

Introduction: Tear exchange during contact lens wear is essential for ocular surface integrity, facilitating debris removal, and maintaining corneal metabolism. Fluorophotometry and fluorogram methods are typically used to measure tear exchange, which require hardware modifications to a slit lamp biomicroscope. This manuscript introduces an alternative method using a corneoscleral profilometer, the Eye Surface Profiler (ESP), to quantify tear exchange during corneal and scleral rigid lens wear by assessing fluorescence intensity changes over time.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of hypoxia and hypobaric conditions on refraction and central corneal thickness on healthy corneas during an ascent without oxygen supplementation above 7000 m (23 000 ft).
Methods: Twelve multinational mountaineers were included in a prospective observational cohort study during an expedition to the Korzhenevskoi Peak (7105 m). The two patients excluded from the study had a history with keratoconus or were current wearers of rigid contact lenses.

Background: The maximum accommodative range is a useful indication of visual function. It decreases with age, but the exact cause of this decrease is not fully understood. It is associated with the increasing rigidity of the lens and changes to the lens shape, as well as the geometry of the zonular attachments.

This review examines the history of contact lens (CL) care products, particularly focusing on hard contact lenses (HCLs) like those made from polymethyl methacrylate and rigid gas permeable (RGP) materials. Although literature on CL history is extensive, there is limited information on the history of CL care products, especially in Japan. This review uses advertisements from the Journal of the Japan Contact Lens Society from 1959 to 2023 to trace the evolution of these products.

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of scleral contact lens (SL) wear on the visual quality and the ocular surface wettability in myopic patients with regular corneas.
Methods: This prospective, randomized, controlled study enrolled a total of 80 myopes with regular corneas. Subjects were randomly allocated to wear SL or rigid corneal lens (RCL) for 3 months.
