 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 13 Hydrophilic soft contact lenses in excimer laser refractive corneal surgery Authors: Ding Xin, Long Qin, Li Ying, Luo Yan, Bing-Jun, Yi Fengrong 【Abstract】 Objective: To understand the hydrophilicity of soft contact lenses as a physical barrier in excimer laser refractive corneal surgery role. Methods: The clinical observation of 23 cases (40 eyes) excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy after wearing contact lenses were observed, including a variety of clinical symptoms; corneal epithelial healing and corneal flap on the spaces, with an average wear a ~ 15d, patients were followed up 1 ~ 3mo. Results: After wearing contact lenses, corneal epithelial healing in patients with symptoms reduced, no 1 case of corneal flap displacement, a good alignment. Conclusion: The excimer laser refractive corneal surgery and early postoperative wearing contact lenses with the promotion of corneal epithelial healing, stability, the role of corneal flap. Keywords: contact lens; excimer laser; refractive surgery 0 Introduction Since 1983, excimer laser for myopia Trokel will be beginning of the study treatment, excimer laser refractive corneal surgery with its excellent efficacy, safety and predictability are more and more accepted by doctors and patients with myopia [ 1-3]. Due to the limitations of refractive corneal surgery itself or the presence of postoperative complications, such as excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) postoperative pain and Haze formation of excimer laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) after epithelial implantation, etc., while in the drug use, physical barriers can also play an important role in the study by our hospital 23 cases after excimer laser refractive corneal surgery hydrophilic soft contact lens wear in patients with clinical observation to understand the hydrophilic soft contact lenses as a physical barrier in excimer laser refractive corneal surgery in the role of now report
