Corneal Astigmatism and the Bausch & Lomb Soflens™ (Polymacon) in Aphakia, a Case Study

Key Points

The aim is to assess the effectiveness of Bausch & Lomb Soflens in correcting corneal astigmatism in apha-kic patients.
Analyzed the performance of minus-power and high-plus series Soflens in apha-kic subjects.
Compared the rigidity and central thickness of the lenses.
Inferred correctional capacity based on lens characteristics.
Minus-power Soflens does not correct corneal astigmatism effectively.
High-plus series Soflens may correct astigmatism due to increased rigidity.
Further research is recommended to corroborate findings.

Abstract

ABSTRACT From this case study the author infers that while the minus‐power Bausch & Lomb Soflens™ does not correct for corneal astigmatism, its high‐plus series counterpart may, due to greater rigidity from increased central thickness. Further research is suggested.
