Abstract

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of new-generation hybrid contact lenses (HCL) among patients with irregular astigmatism. Medical records of 25 patients fit with new-generation HCL (Eyebrid® and AirFlex®) were retrospectively reviewed. The data collected included etiology of irregular astigmatism, uncorrected visual acuity, manifest refraction, spectacle-corrected visual acuity (S-CDVA), steep / flat keratometric values, corneal astigmatism, records of rigid / soft CL fitted before HCL, all parameters of the trial lenses, and the final prescribed HCL parameters and HCL-CDVA. The study included 34 eyes from 25 patients (nine females and 16 males) with an average age of 29 ± 13 (ranging from 8-56) years. In total, 25 eyes with keratoconus, four with post - keratoplasty astigmatism, three with irregular astigmatism due to corneal trauma and two with residual astigmatism after radial keratotomy were fit with HCL. The mean S-CDVA (logMAR) improved significantly from 0.76 ± 0.41 to 0.14 ± 0.15 with HCL (p < 0.01). The most common indication for HCL was inability to fit with rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses (22 eyes). The average number of lenses to successful fit was 1.4 (mode, 1; median, 1) and ideal fit was achieved with the fir...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
