Purpose: To evaluate corneal stability, measured by computerized videokeratography
(CVK) after discontinuation of contact lens wear in preoperative refractive surgery
candidates.
Setting: Baylor College of Medicine, Cullen Eye Institute, Houston, Texas, USA.
Methods: Topographic differences were analyzed in 136 noncontact lens wearers
(NCLVV) and 76 contact lens wearers (CL VV) (18 rigid gas-permeable contact lenses
[RGPCL), 58 soft contact lenses (SC14) using EyeSys CVK after discontinuation of SCL
wear for 2 weeks and RGPCL wear for 5 weeks. |
