Rigid Gas Permeable CLs Improve Topography Parameters

"Rigid gas permeable contact lens wear provided improved topographic parameters after cross-linking to stabilize progressive keratoconus, a study found." That's the lead of a PConSuperSite post. "The study compared 15 eyes without contact lenses and 12 eyes that were fitted with contact lenses 1 to 10 weeks after surgery. Outcome measures included the change from baseline in best corrected visual acuity, refractive sphere and cylinder, keratometry and astigmatism values, inferior-superior (I-S) value on EyeSys (EyeSys Vision) and maximal keratometry value on Pentacam (Oculus). Measurements were taken before surgery and at three 6-month intervals after surgery." Read more.
