  2. Effects of long-term contact lens wear on the cornea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_long-term...

    This same effect was not found in patients who had worn soft contact lenses for an extended period of time. Greater corneal steepening was found in patients wearing soft contact lenses than in patients wearing rigid gas permeable contact lenses, [24] suggesting that the latter may slow the progression of myopia by flattening the cornea.

  3. Pellucid marginal degeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pellucid_marginal_degeneration

    People wearing contacts don't report increased problems with glare and contrast sensitivity, but it is not clear if this is due to the corneal disease, or the contact lenses themselves. [citation needed] New studies found that the use of Scleral contact lens, a type of rigid gas permeable (RGP) lens, may be a good option for most people with ...

  4. Anisometropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisometropia

    The usual recommendation for those needing iseikonic correction is to wear contact lenses. The effect of vertex distance is removed and the effect of center thickness is also almost removed, meaning there is minimal and likely unnoticeable image size difference. This is a good solution for those who can tolerate contact lenses.

  5. Meesmann corneal dystrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meesmann_corneal_dystrophy

    Eye stinging; Blepharospasm; Meesmann corneal dystrophy is a non-inflammatory condition that effects the restricted region of the cornea epithelium which is the outermost layer. [2] Onset of symptoms begin during infancy or early childhood but may not become noticeable or problematic for many years. [3] [7] [8]

  6. Aniseikonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aniseikonia

    The difference in magnification can also be eliminated by a combination of contact lenses and glasses (creating a weak telescope system). The optimum design solution will depend on different parameters like cost, cosmetic implications, and if the patient can tolerate wearing a contact lens. [citation needed]

    During the colder months, the chilly, dry air can zap moisture from the eyes, making contact lenses more likely to irritate a person’s vision. During the colder months, the chilly, dry air can ...

  8. Corneal neovascularization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corneal_neovascularization

    For contact lenses related hypoxia, ceasing the use of contact lenses is the first step until corneal neovascularization is addressed by a physician. Modern rigid gas permeable and silicon hydrogel contact lenses have a much higher level of oxygen transmissibility, making them effective alternatives to help prevent corneal neovascularization.

  9. Aphakia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphakia

    Aphakia is the absence of the lens of the eye, due to surgical removal, such as in cataract surgery, a perforating wound or ulcer, or congenital anomaly. It causes a loss of ability to maintain focus (accommodation), high degree of farsightedness (), [1] and a deep anterior chamber.
