Abstract:
Objective To investigate the complications associated with wearing soft corneal contact lens. Methods This study involved 120 patients (205 eyes) wearing soft corneal contact lens from January 2004 to February 2005. The examination included eyesight, slit lamp, corneal fluorescein staining, break-up time of tear film before final diagnosis. Results There were 30 eyes of simple conjunctival congestion, 42 eyes of macropapillary conjunctivitis, 86 eyes of xerophthalmia, 62 eyes of keratopathy and 21 eyes of ciliary congestion and forming of new vessels. Conclusions Many complications such as simple conjunctival congestion, macropapillary conjunctivitis, xerophthalmia et al will be caused by wearing soft corneal contact lens. This indicates that wearing soft corneal contact lens should be strictly controlled and patients should be followed-up regularly.
