OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to review the literature to date to determine if silicone hydrogel lenses have eliminated corneal hypoxia. METHODS Results from clinical studies, including short-term laboratory studies and retrospective and prospective clinical trials that have assessed the

Keratoconus (KC) is a progressive corneal ectasia linked to thinning of the central cornea. Hard contact lenses, rigid gas permeable lenses, and scleral lenses are the primary treatment modalities for early to mid- stages of KC to correct refractive error and astigmatism that develops as a result of

OBJECTIVE To describe the principal clinical outcomes associated with 12 months use of rigid gas-permeable (RGP) extended wear contact lenses and address two primary study questions: (1) does extended wear (EW) of high oxygen transmissibility (Dk/t) RGP lenses reduce the incidence of ocular

OBJECTIVE Silicone hydrogel (SiH) lenses offer many physiological advantages for daily wear (DW) in addition to the continuous-wear modality for which they were originally developed. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical performance and physiological responses in a group of

OBJECTIVE The primary aim of the Berkeley Contact Lens Extended Wear Study (CLEWS) was to test the hypotheses that extended wear of rigid gas-permeable (RGP) contact lenses with greater oxygen permeability (Dk) reduces the incidence of contact lens-associated keratopathy (CLAK) and increases the

Contact lenses are an alternative method to spectacles for correcting refractive errors, but the U.S. Air Force prohibits the wearing of contact lenses by all aircrew members unless medically or optically indicated (AFR 167-3). USAFSAM has a clinical contact lens study consisting of 55 individuals

BACKGROUND The U.S. Air Force approved laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for aircrew in May 2007. Relative to photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), LASIK potentially offers a more rapid return to flight status; however, there are concerns regarding corneal stability at altitude after

OBJECTIVE Retinopathy of prematurity (RoP) is a retinal vascular disease and a frequent cause of blindness in infants. Our objective was to measure the frequency of RoP in infants with extremely low birth weight (ELBW, < 1,000 g) at the National Institute of Perinatology, Neonatal Intensive Care
