Figure 1. Due to their improved comfort and ease of use, hydrogel lenses have made disposable contacts the first choice for both eye doctors and their patients. The data shown was obtained from measurements taken through the central 3-5 mm portion for the thinnest marketed lens (-6.00DS lens with a centre thickness 0.070mm). In July, CooperVision introduced its Biofinity Energys (CooperVision), with digital device users in mind. Over the last decade, CL manufacturers have provided a variety of scleral contact lens (ScCL) designs that have a wide range of applications.33,34 Current ScCLs are manufactured using high Dk materials (e.g., fluorosilicone acrylate).

Biofinity XR toric is a cast-molded, made-to-order lens that incorporates the same uniform horizontal thickness and ballast band design as Biofinity toric.

Other material-related factors, such as oxygen transmissibility, wettability, modulus and lens dehydration, only display weak links with CLD. Color CL fits in Asia are quite high when compared with the United States, with about 4% in the United States, and 58% and 41% in Taiwan and Korea.7 Color CLs are mainly used for cosmetic purposes and they also have prosthetic and special effect applications. According to the company, this comfilcon A-based lens has two novel elements: digital zone optics, which integrates multiple, front-surface, aspheric curves across the entire optical zone, distributing power evenly and simulating more positive power in the center of the lens; and aquaform technology, which has high oxygen transmissibility and low modulus, attracting and binding water.30. Soft contact lenses using hydrogel were first available in the 1980s. It would be useful for optometrists to stay up to date on novel innovations in CL materials and designs when prescribing, to avoid or solve a number of common patient problems.

Resultados: This material now accounts for approximately 55% of all soft lens fits worldwide and 62% in the United States.7 Its increased oxygen transmissibility promised a reduction in the rate of corneal infections, but research shows the risk of microbial keratitis is similar regardless of lens material studied.8-12 In fact, several studies show that SiHy materials doubled the relative risk for infiltrative events.13-16 Studies also suggest that older generation SiHy materials provided only a minimal increase in comfort over conventional hydrogel (CH) materials.5,17 This was due to the incorporation of siloxane groups into SiHy lenses, which made them more hydrophobic and stiffer than CH materials, but led to issues related to poor lens wettability and mechanical complications.18-20 These mechanical complications included mucin balls (Figure 1), corneal erosions (Figure 2), superior epithelial arcuate lesions (Figure 3), epithelial flaps and CL-associated papillary conjunctivitis.21-26 The hydrophobic nature of certain SiHy materials tends to deposit high levels of certain lipids and increased denatured protein.27,28 Hence, several practitioners still choose to fit CH materials. 2018 May 15;2018:1493967. doi: 10.1155/2018/1493967.

Recent research shows a 32% to 42% reduction in myopia using orthokeratology (OK) lenses.39-41 Research also finds partial correction using OK lenses is effective, with high myopes of 6.00D or more partially treated by -4.00D, showing a 76% reduction in myopia progression over one year when compared with spectacle wear.42 Children fitted with a dual-focus multifocal OK lens design in one eye and a conventional OK lens in the fellow eye showed short-term changes to the eye in the multifocal OK lens wearing eyes.43, Concentric and aspheric multifocal designs can slow myopia progression.44 Concentric bifocal lenses, which have a center distance design surrounded by concentric zones of near and distance powers, reduce myopia progression and axial length in children with esophoric fixation disparities, according to investigators.44 Aspheric designs also show reduced myopia progression.45 Use of a center-distance aspheric multifocal design can reduce myopic progression by 50% and axial length by 29% when compared with a single vision wearing group.46, Dual-focus designs and peripheral plus powered aspheric designs also show myopia reduction; however, debate about the visual quality reduction caused by the induction of positive spherical aberration when using this approach persists.47-50. www.thevisioncouncil.org/content/digital-eye-strain.

Overnight corneal swelling with silicone hydrogel contact lenses with high oxygen transmissibility. This new material used silicone in a contact lens to allow more oxygen to flow to the cornea, increasing the comfort and clinical performance over hydrogel lenses.
