Fluoroperm extended wear RGP contact lenses for myopia, hyperopia, aphakia, astigmatism, and keratoconus

One hundred fifteen eyes of 62 patients were fit with paflufocon-A (Fluoroperm) rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses. Patients included myopes, hyperopes, aphakes, and keratoconic and astigmatic patients; the latter patients were fit with bitoric designs for large amounts of corneal astigmatism or front toric designs for residual astigmatism. Thirty of the 52 patients (58%) who completed the study were able to wear the lenses continuously without complications; six (12%) were able to achieve extended wear for up to one month. The average visual acuity across the study was 20/20. Three complications were observed, resulting in a complication rate of 6%.
