Abstract:
A clinical evaluation of Eye-Me(R) (Paik San, Korea), daily and extended wear, soft contact lenses was performed for a 3-month period. The two kinds of lenses were worn by 20 persons (40 eyes) in each group. Measurements of the central corneal thickness were taken in 10 eyes of extended wear group following 8 hours of sleep with contact lenses. The mean percent corneal thickness change after 8 hours of sleep with lenses was 1O.6 +/- 1.9%. At 3 months after lens wearing, good corrected visual acuity (over 0.8) was obtained in 33 eyes 36 eyes (91.7%) of daily wear group, and 32 eyes of 34 eyes (94.1%) of extended wear group, respectively, During the follow-up period of 3 months, mild adverse signs were noted in 8 eyes of each group. 85% of daily wear group and 90% of extended wear group were satisfied with Eye-Me(R) lenses. The above results suggest that the visual outcome and the safety of Eye-Me(R) soft contact lens could be acceptible for its clinical application.
