Predicting time to refractive stability after discontinuation of rigid contact lens wear before refractive surgery

Changes in astigmatism after surgery for epiblepharon in highly astigmatic children: A controlled study

“…The decrease in cylinder, which occurred in patients largely within 1 month of surgery, corresponded to corneal recovery time after discontinuation of rigid contact lenses. [28][29][30] Stability in corneal topography was accomplished within 3 weeks of discontinuation of contact lenses in the majority of cases, although recovery time varied between cases. The decreasing effect on cylinder and J 0 after the surgery might be the result of reduced eyelid pressure on the cornea, either by less skin fold and pretarsal orbicularis muscle or less eyelid squeezing after the surgery.…”

Scleral lens influence on corneal curvature and pachymetry in keratoconus patients

“…The timing of corneal recovery after discontinuation of corneal contact lenses is variable per contact lens type. Duration of corneal contact lens wear seems proportional to the required time for topography stabilization [16].…”

Complications of cataract surgery

“…49 Once the corneal curvature and axial length measurements are determined, several IOL formulae are available and each has its indications and some are better at predicting IOL power in excessively short or long eyes. The A-constants of lenses could also be modified from the manufacturer's values based on each surgeon's outcomes.…”
