摘要
Purpose: To assess the effect of different disposable soft contact lenses on several corneal parameters-thickness, anterior and posterior curvature, and volume-by means of a Scheimpflug imaging-based device (Pentacam HR). Diurnal variations of these parameters were taken into account. Methods: Twenty-one young, healthy subjects wore 4 different types of daily disposable soft contact lenses on 4 different days: Dailies AquaComfort Plus, SofLens, Dailies Total1, and Acuvue TruEye. The lenses had different material and water content. Pachymetry and curvature maps and corneal volume values were obtained using the Pentacam HR twice a day: one before putting the lens on and one after an 8-hour period of contact lens wear. Measurements were also taken without any contact lenses being worn. Results: Regarding corneal thickness, the lens with the most similar behavior to the naked eye scenario was the Dailies Total1, causing a thickening of 0.2 +/- 0.1% in the central zone and 0.6 +/- 0.2% in the periphery. All 4 lenses caused a slight but not significant flattening in the anterior corneal curvature, whereas the posterior corneal curvature only experienced a significant but small steepening with the SofLens. The use of these lenses increased corneal volume slightly. Conclusions: Variations in corneal parameters seem to depend on the type of contact lens used (material, oxygen transmissibility, water content). However, the magnitude of the changes introduced by the use of soft contact lenses over the 8-hour period was small and probably not large enough to influence either visual acuity or comfort.
