Assess the usefulness of using confocal microscopy to examine changes to the structure of the
cornea and to identify any potential consequences of contact lens wear and/or solution use.
cornea and to identify any potential consequences of contact lens wear and/or solution use.
Several types of solutions are used in contact lens wear.
Each contact lens solution used to disinfect contacts have different ingredients even though
they all disinfect the contacts.
The objective of this study is to examine the layers of the cornea via HRT in order to assess
the usefulness of this technology and to identify any potential consequences of contact lens
wear and/or care solution used.
