Contact Lens Adaptation

Key Points

The study aims to understand how contact lenses influence corneal thickness and the adaptation process in normal physiology.
Measured corneal thickness changes as an index of contact lens effects.
Evaluated the adaptation process and fitting relationships.
Assessed neural adaptation of receptor responses to contact lenses.
Corneal thickness changes were observed during contact lens adaptation.
Decreased tearing was noted alongside neural receptor adaptation.
Enhanced tear tonicity was associated with successful adaptation to contact lenses.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Corneal thicknes changes were measured and used as an index of the effect of contact lenses on normal corneal physiology to study the contact lens adaptation proces and to evaluate fitting relationships. The adaptation process may be accounted for on the basis of the decrease in tearing which accompanies neural adaptation of the receptors in the lid margins to stimulation by a contact lens and which produces a more normal tear tonicity.
