Hydrophilic Contact Lenses in Corneal Disease

Whole Corneal Descemetocele

“…Treatment options include therapeutic contact lenses [18,20], tissue glues [18,21], conjunctival flaps [18,22], amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) [23,24], keratoplasty (penetrating, lamellar), and patch grafts [6][7][8][9][10]18,19,25]. There are both advantages and disadvantages to each of these treatment options.…”

Management of a Small Paracentral Corneal Perforation Using Iatrogenic Iris Incarceration and Tissue Adhesive

“…Corneal suturing may result in high astigmatism. According to Leibowitz [1], the indications for the use of a bandage soft contact lens to treat a corneal laceration include small wounds with good apposition, good alignment of the wound edges, and no incarceration or prolapse of the uvea or lens. Corneal puncture wounds of less than 2.0 mm in size can usually heal without being sutured [2].…”

BCLA CLEAR – Medical use of contact lenses

“…There is long history of use of bandage contact lens in penetrating wounds of the cornea [215]. Additionally, topical pilocarpine can be used as an adjunct to free incarcerated iris [216].…”
