Examine how wearing contact lenses affects corneal thickness and hydration, providing a fitting index.
Conducted experimental analysis on corneal thickness changes
Monitored changes in corneal hydration during contact lens wear
Developed a proposed model based on observed data
Findings indicate significant changes in corneal thickness with contact lens use
Alterations in corneal hydration are noted, highlighting physiological impacts
Proposed model offers a new index for effective contact lens fitting

Implication

Experimental results demonstrate contact lens fitting effectiveness by analyzing corneal thickness changes, indicating physiological impact.

Abstract

Changes in corneal hydration can be produced when a contact lens is worn on the eye. These changes indicate an interference with the normal corneal physiology, and provide an index for fitting a contact lens.
