Extended wear has long been considered as the ultimate contact lens modality in terms of user convenience. The purpose of this work is to update earlier surveys by describing international trends in e...
An annual contact lens prescribing survey was sent to eye care practitioners in up to 71 countries between 2000 and 2023, inclusive. Data relating to 282,142 soft contact lens fits undertaken in 20 co...
Over the duration of the work there was a very small decrease in the prescribing of extended wear soft lenses (p < 0.0001). More detailed inspection shows that prescribing of these lenses steadily inc...
A modest increase in extended wear soft lens prescribing from 2000 to 2007 corresponded with the introduction of high oxygen transmissibility silicone hydrogel lenses. However, prescribing of this len...
Patients expect to have excellent vision and comfort when wearing soft contact lenses. The purpose of this study was to compare the wear experiences of participants with astigmatism when wearing a dai...
In this crossover study, habitual soft toric lens wearers were fit with a daily replacement soft toric lens (delefilcon A) and a reusable, 1-month replacement soft toric lens (comfilcon A) in a random...
Fifty-nine participants completed the multi-site crossover study. VAS scores [mean(std dev)] for overall quality of vision for the delefilcon A [80.4(16.4)] and comfilcon A [66.8(27.7)] lenses were st...
The results of this study show that wear experience with delefilcon A lenses for astigmatism can meet or exceed that of comfilcon A toric lenses while also providing healthy, daily disposable lens wea...
The increasing incidence of serious bacterial keratitis, a sight-threatening condition often exacerbated by inadequate contact lens (CLs) care, highlights the need for innovative protective technology...
Introduced around the turn of the 21st century, silicone hydrogel contact lenses alleviated hypoxic anterior eye complications due to their high oxygen transmissibility. The purpose of this work is to...
An annual contact lens prescribing survey was sent to eye care practitioners in up to 71 countries between 2000 and 2023. Data relating to 260,144 daily wear soft contact lens fits undertaken in 20 co...
There has been a dramatic increase in silicone hydrogel daily wear lens fits (p < 0.0001), increasing from 2.8 % of all daily wear soft lens fits in 2000 to 73.7 % in 2023. Of all daily wear soft cont...
The dramatic increase in silicone hydrogel contact lens prescribing for daily wear has been commensurate with the introduction of multiple lens brands and an ongoing expansion of lens designs, paramet...
To investigate the behaviour of telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) in the tears of healthy neophyte contact lenses-wearing individuals during the sleep/wake cycle. A subsequent aim was to invest...
Flush tears were collected from 19 healthy, non-contact lens-wearing participants (11 males, 8 females, mean age 31.9 ± 5.7 years), before and during contact lens wear. Tears were collected at noon, b...
hTERT levels (median [interquartile range]) during contact lens wear were significantly higher before sleep (436.5 (263.9 - 697.7) ng/ml compared to the same time point without contact lenses (256.1 (...
The study showed that hTERT increases after a contact lens is placed on the eye, but this change is small, compared to the impact of overnight eye closure. Taken together with the lack of responses of...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of wearing center-near (CN) and center-distance (CD) multifocal contact lenses (MFCLs) on spherical aberrations and visual acuity in patients with earl...
Fifty participants with early presbyopia wore CN-MFCLs and CD-MFCLs for 1 week. The average corrected refractive power was -2.65±1.67 D. Spherical aberration was measured using an auto-refractor after...
No significant difference in overall visual acuity was observed when using either lens. Participants favored CD-MFCLs for distance vision and CN-MFCLs for near vision. This study highlighted variation...
This study confirmed that wearing MFCLs leads to changes in spherical aberration and visual acuity in patients with early presbyopia, particularly when positive aberration prevails. Future research sh...
Increased intraocular pressure is a common symptom of glaucoma. In severe circumstances, it may result in loss of eyesight. Glaucoma treatment is difficult due to ocular physiological barriers that pr...
This study aims to prepare and evaluate Brimonidine niosomes laden contact lenses for the treatment of Glaucoma....
Brimonidine niosomes were prepared using thin film hydration method and evaluated. The contact lenses were soaked in the niosomal formulation at varying intervals (3-10 days). Thereafter, the contact ...
Higher concentration of the drug was loaded in contact lenses loaded with Brimonidine niosomes compared to the marketed formulation, by soaking method. The contact lenses exhibited an optimal %transmi...
Brimonidine niosomes laden contact lenses exhibited superior drug loading through the soaking method, displaying optimal %transmittance and %swelling index. Soaking for 7 days increased drug concentra...
The dryness and discomfort associated with soft contact lenses (SCLs) prevent their continued use. Recently, verofilcon A, a new daily disposable silicone hydrogel material SCL, was introduced, which ...
We enrolled 42 first-time SCL wearers, comprising 84 eyes. NIBUT was measured using the DR-1α® dry eye observation device at the state of the naked eye before SCL wear (baseline) and at one and four w...
Prolonged BUT and increased comfort levels were observed in individuals wearing verofilcon A SCLs. Improvement in tear fluid retention was found to alleviate dry eye and discomfort, suggesting that ve...
The pre-lens tear film (PLTF) over (i) delefilcon A silicone hydrogel water gradient (WG; 33-80% from core to surface) contact lenses (CLs) (SHWG-CLs) and (ii) subjects' own non-WG soft CLs (SCLs) (SO...
To compare the visual outcomes, spectacle independent rate and stereopsis in patients who underwent bilateral implantation of extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL), or a blend approach...
A total of 60 cataract patients, who were scheduled for phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in both eyes in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, were enrolled and divided into ...
Compared to the Non-micro monovision group (UNVA: 0.07 ± 0.04), Micro monovision group (UNVA: 0.00 ± 0.07, P < 0.001) and Mixed group (UNVA: -0.02 ± 0.06, P < 0.001) showed improvement in binocular un...
Both micro monovision and mix-and-match methods can help patients to obtain better visual outcomes at different distances. Mix-and-match method has better near visual acuity, while micro monovision me...
