Corneal Epithelial Thickness Map in Long-Term Soft Contact Lenses Wearers

Abstract

There is a decrease in epithelial thickness in subjects who wear SCL long term. Clinicians should take note of the nonuniformity of the paracentral and midperipheral corneal epithelium thicknesses. This method may be useful for detecting early changes in corneal epithelial thickness caused by long-term SCL wear.
