简要总结
Scleral lenses, customized rigid contact lenses that land on the soft and spongy conjunctival tissue overlying the sclera, will be fitted on 15 subjects with normal ocular surfaces. The purpose of the study is to determine the amount of conjunctival compression caused by the devices and the length of time required for the shape to recover from compression.
详细描述
The purpose of this study is to determine the interval required for the conjunctival tissue to return to its natural shape after scleral lens wear. All study visits will take place at the University of Houston College of Optometry (UHCO). Subjects will be recruited and fitted with scleral lenses to wear during the experimental days. Once the proper fit has been achieved, subjects will wear the scleral lens for 4 days total, returning after the 1st and 4th day of lens wear for approximately 2 hours of testing. The subjects will then return every 24-hours for measurements until their conjunctival shape has returned to the original shape. The testing will be done using the sMap scleral topographer, which measures the elevation of the conjunctiva. Testing is non-invasive although it requires instillation of Fluress eye drops, a sodium fluorescein dye with anesthetic that allows for imaging. The total number of visits is 9-14 and the length of visit ranges from 10 minutes to 2.5 hours.

- •Male or female
- •18 years of age and older prior to the initial visit
- •A non-scleral lens wearer.
排除标准
- •Individuals with anterior segment ocular pathology that may affect intraocular pressure and/or scleral/conjunctival health.
