Abstract
Fifty pediatric aphakic patients, ranging in age from 7 days to 11 years, were fitted with the Silsoft extended wear contact lens. Compared to other extended wear lenses, the Silsoft lens has several advantages. These include easier handling, a less traumatic fitting procedure for the child, the use of fluorescein for evaluation of the lens-cornea relationship and a low loss rate. This lens appears to be safe, with no permanent adverse effects on the cornea.Entities:
