Relationship Between Myopia and Corneal Curvature Changes After Wearing Contact Lenses

Key Points

The study aims to explore the relationship between changes in myopia and corneal curvature after contact lens removal.
Analyzed data from more than 100 eyes
Examined myopia changes over a period of weeks after removing contact lenses
Recorded corneal curvature changes during test days
A certain agreement between myopia and corneal curvature changes was observed
Individual data often showed conflicting results
Changes in myopia and corneal curvature could be in opposite directions, with differences up to 4.00 D

Abstract

ABSTRACT Myopia and corneal curvature changes during a period of weeks after the removal of contact lenses have been analyzed. Group data for more than 100 eyes show a certain agreement between myopia and corneal curvature changes: however, individual data give conflicting results. Lack of agreement occurred frequently and, in some cases, the myopia and corneal curvature changes between test days were in opposite directions and as great as 4.00 D. Myopia changes following the removal of contact lenses cannot be attributed solely to anterior corneal curvature changes.
