'Silicone rubber' lenses in aphakia.

M Ruben, M Guillon

    The British Journal of Ophthalmology
    |July 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Tesicon silicone rubber lenses showed a 74% success rate for correcting aphakia in daily wear. However, frequent corneal staining and lens dryness were noted despite good patient acceptance.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Aphakia, the absence of the eye's natural lens, often requires optical correction.
    • Silicone rubber lenses offer potential for extended wear and improved oxygen permeability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the clinical performance and patient acceptance of Tesicon silicone rubber lenses for aphakia correction.
    • To identify common complications associated with Tesicon lens wear.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective evaluation of patients fitted with Tesicon silicone rubber lenses for aphakia.
    • Assessment of daily wear success rates, extended wear tolerance, and reported complications.

    Main Results:

    • Tesicon lenses were successful in 74% of cases for a daily wear regimen.
    • A subset of patients tolerated continuous wear for 3 to 6 days.
    • Frequent occurrences of corneal staining and lens surface dryness were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Tesicon silicone rubber lenses demonstrate good patient acceptance for aphakia correction.
    • Corneal and lens-related issues necessitate careful monitoring during Tesicon lens wear.
