Abstract:
Thirty-twop patients, ranging in age from three weeks to 22 years, were fitted with an extended wear 100% silicone lens. The longest period of time a lens remained in the eye without being removed was 120 days. Most lenses were worn an average of six weeks before cleaning was required. No cases of infection or corneal edema were observed that required discontinuing use of the lens.
