In vivo confocal microscopy of the human cornea.
TL;DR: In vivo confocal microscopy is particularly useful in the areas of infective keratitis, corneal dystrophies, refractive surgery, and contact lens wear, where it aids in differential diagnosis and detection of subtle short and long term changes.
Journal Article
Effects of long-term extended contact lens wear on the human cornea.
TL;DR: The effects of long-term extended wear of soft contact lenses on the human cornea were determined by examining 27 patients who had worn a high water content hydrogel contact lens in 1 eye only for an average of 62 +/- 29 months (mean +/- SD).
Effects of long-term extended contact lens wear on the human cornea
TL;DR: It is established that the extended wear of hydrogel lenses induces significant changes in all layers of the cornea, that lens wear suppresses aerobic epithelial metabolism, which may compromise the epithelial barrier to infection; and that changes to the stroma and endothelium are long-lasting.
