“…In the remaining 3 patients lens wear proved indispensible. Also in Stevens Johnson syndrome and ionizing radiation keratopathy bandage lens treatment appeared less effective than earlier reported (Gasset & Kaufman 1971;Buxton & Locke 1971;Dohlman et al 1973: Could 1974. Lens wear was discontinued within 2 months in 10 of the 12 patients due to lack of effect (5 patients), increasing keratopathy (12 patients), purulent keratoconjunctivitis ( 1 patient), increasing discomfort ( 1 patient) or frequent lens loss (1 patient).…”

Hydrophilic 'bandage' lenses were fitted in 107 patients with corneal disorders not satisfactorily responding to conventional medical treatment. An over-all beneficial effect on both ocular discomfort, visual acuity and corneal disorder was found (P less than 0.002). Regarding each group separately only patients with bullous keratopathy and those with corneal ulcers achieved a significant reduction of ocular discomfort (P less than 0.002) and a significant improvement of visual acuity (P less than 0.05 - P less than 0.01). In bullous keratopathy corneal oedema was significantly reduced by concomitant use of contact lenses and 5% NaCl eye drops (P less than 0.01). Significant improvement of corneal disorder occurred in patients with corneal ulcers and in those with corneal lacerations (P less than 0.002 and P less than 0.01, respectively). Complications included corneal vascularization (7.5%) and keratitis/keratoconjunctivitis (5.6%). Prophylactic use of topical antibiotics appeared necessary only in dry eye disease.

“…He also observed that epithelisation is slow in aphakics compared to phakic patients. 10 Mondino BJ also reported improvement in patients of corneal ulcer. 9 The results of our study are comparable with the studies done by other workers that contact lenses promote healing by rapid epithelisation of ulcer.…”

“…Comparable results with improvement of up to 60-100% have been shown in other studies. 11 One of the important causes of non healing corneal ulcer is persistence of infection. BCL exaggerates the effects of locally applied drugs by increasing the contact time of medication.…”
